The pictures taken by the students for the photo competition during the ALERT Doctoral School 2012 are now available online. The competiton was initiated by Carlos Santamarina and its results were presented in a stimulating atmosphere by Eddy Ando. The subject of the competition was reserch motivation.
The ALERT PhD Prize 2012 was awarded to Thomas Blanc from Universidad Politécnica de Madrid for his PhD thesis entitled “The Runge-Kutta Taylor-SPH, A new improved model for soil dynamics problems” (abstract), and to Mohammad Monfared from École des Ponts – Paris Tech for his PhD thesis entitled “Temperature-damage-permeability coupling in clayey soils and rocks” (abstract). See more details and the winners from the previous years.
The annual meeting of ALERT Geomaterials in Aussois is over. A collection of impressions photographed by David Mašín can be found on his webpage. More news from the meeting will follow soon.
