More info

My interests include earthquake engineering, mechanics, site investigation, and finite element analysis. I enjoy working with computers and programming in C++, Java, and Matlab. One of the programs I have written using Matlab is called OpenEERS and has been uploaded to SourceForge.net – source code included. I created this program as a 4th year student at UC Davis as a class project and have continued its development ever since. The program was created for simulating an earthquake response of multiple degree of freedom structures and saving the predicted motions as animations in AVI format.
