Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVincente Pericoli is a Principal R&D Engineer at Sandia National Laboratories with a decade of experience applying computational solid mechanics, fracture mechanics, and finite element analysis to high-consequence modeling and simulation. He holds a Ph.D. in Structural Engineering from UC Davis where he developed novel models for crack initiation and growth in steel structures and published in leading journals. Vincente’s work spans fundamental R&D to design qualification, integrating multi-physics simulations that inform critical decision-making for infrastructure and safety applications. He pairs technical depth with leadership in outreach, mentorship, and recruitment to promote diversity and inclusion within STEM. Based in California, he brings a forensic mindset—evident from past investigations of pipeline and seismic failures—that sharpens his modeling insights for real-world failure modes.
