Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNathan Shauer is a computational mechanics researcher and Professor Doutor with 11+ years of experience applying advanced finite element methods to hydraulic fracturing, elastoplasticity, and stability problems in the oil and civil industries. He earned his civil engineering degrees at UNICAMP and completed a PhD at UIUC focused on Generalized Finite Elements for 3D multi-fracture propagation and wave interaction in fluid-filled fractures. Nathan combines academic leadership—teaching Solid Mechanics and Strength of Materials—with hands-on high-performance scientific software development from roles at SimWorX and LabMec. His work emphasizes mixed conservative formulations, hp-adaptivity, and stability analyses, and he has developed computational tools in the NeoPZ environment for discrete fracture network simulation. Fluent in both Brazilian and international research contexts, he bridges theory and production code, bringing object-oriented design to large-scale numerical simulation. An uncommon strength is his track record of translating cutting-edge FEM theory into robust, industry-relevant software used for petroleum well and fracture modeling.
