About the Author

Bruno Chareyre is Assistant Professor at Grenoble INP, in the department of Hydraulic Engineering and Geomechanics. His teaching activities include geotechnical engineering, structural engineering and numerical modelling. His research activities focus on Discrete Element Methods (DEM), the development of Yade, micromechanical approaches of the behaviour of granular media and homogenization, Fluid-solid couplings in unsaturated (capillary effects) and saturated (fluid flow) granular materials and Multi-scale approaches based on the DEM.
