Stefano is Professor of Geotechnical Engineering at Newcastle University (UK) and a Chartered Engineer and Fellow of the Institution of Civil
Engineering.
He is member of the International Technical
Committee 208 “Slope stability in engineering practice” and has worked for several years on the stability assessment and design of slopes.
Stefano has developed the initial version of OptimalSlope.
Andrea holds a PhD in Geotechnical Engineering from Newcastle University with title "Design of optimal pitwall profiles for open pit mines".
Andrea's expertise lies in ensuring mine safety by employing analytical insights derived from numerical simulations.
Notably, during his PhD, Andrea further developed the current version of OptimalSlope, demonstrating a keen commitment to advancing the field.
Danius (MSc in Computer Engineering) is an experienced engineer in designing scalable and adaptive-computing systems using principles of AI. He has developed the cloud architecture on AWS Cloud and the yet-to-be released Graphical User Interface.
