In this webinar for mining users you'll hear from industry expert, Ioannis Vazaios, Senior Geotechnical Engineer at Ove Arup & Partners and receive an overview of how Altair's Geomechanics Director and Irazu by Geomechanica Inc. (Altair APA) can help you analyze complex applications that involve large displacements and fracturing of discontinuous rocks.
Presenters
Ioannis VazaiosSenior Geotechnical Engineer, Ove Arup & Partners
Ioannis is a Senior Geotechnical Engineer with Ove Arup & Partners and specialises in Rock Mechanics and Tunnelling. His diverse experience ranges from soft to hard rock underground excavations for civil infrastructure and mining projects within extreme rockmass conditions in the UK, the Americas and Australasia. Ioannis holds a PhD degree from Queen’s University, Canada in Rock Mechanics and Engineering Geology. His expertise focuses on rockmass assessment by implementing state-of-the-art techniques including remote sensing (LiDAR/photogrammetry), advanced modelling by utilising several continuum and discontinuum numerical techniques and development of computational tools using Python and other programming languages for underground support design in geologically challenging environments.
