Vicente Ferrándiz is a research engineer based in Paris with a decade of experience applying advanced finite element methods to biomechanics and metal forming problems. He holds a PhD in civil engineering and a Master's from École Polytechnique, and has deep expertise in large-deformation solid-shell elements, contact mechanics, computational plasticity, adaptive remeshing and HPC C++/Python implementations. At Inria he combines software engineering duties—modernizing legacy scientific codebases and integrating hyperelastic solvers—with feature development for cardiac hemodynamics and pulmonary ventilation. His background includes industry consulting in the nuclear sector and contributions to open-source tooling, notably adding Kratos mdpa I/O support to the widely used meshio library. Curious and hands-on, he thrives at the intersection of numerical research and production-grade scientific software.

Contributions summary:Vicente's primary contribution focuses on adding input/output functionality for the KratosMultiphysics mdpa file format to the `meshio` library. They implemented the `mdpa_io.py` module, including read and write functions, and integrated it into the helper functions. The work involved understanding the mdpa format and mapping its data structures to meshio's internal representation. The user's efforts enable `meshio` to handle mesh data in the mdpa format.
All benchmarks, examples and applications cases to be run by Kratos. Note that unit tests are in Kratos repository and NOT here
