Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSalva Latorre is a R&D engineer based in Barcelona with 12 years of experience applying numerical methods to engineering problems at CIMNE. With dual master's degrees in Civil Engineering and Computer Science from UPC, he specializes in Python, C++ and numerical simulation, and is a contributor to PFEM and the DEMPack team. He blends hands-on software development with deep domain knowledge in computational mechanics, turning research prototypes into robust simulation tools. Colleagues value his ability to bridge academic research and practical engineering workflows, particularly in particle- and mesh-based methods. Less obvious: his background in civil engineering gives him a practical intuition for real-world boundary conditions that improves the fidelity of his numerical models.
