grand challenge project Earthquake Ground Motion Modeling in Large Basins, he led a team that developed a finite element methodology and tools for simulating elastic wave propagation in heterogeneous media on parallel computers. This tool has been used in several countries to perform earthquake hazard estimation studies.
