On November 9, 2018, Ezra and Jinho presented their research at the 2018 University of California, Berkeley Geotechnical Engineering Research Symposium. Their presentation titles are “Material Point Method for large deformation modeling” and “Geotechnical risk prediction – from electrical to optical method application” respectively. We had around 120 participants in this event. The rest of the group also presented their posters at this event.
