Geomechanical Simulation
Nonlinear hydro-mechanical analysis for slopes, foundations, and subsurface assets, with calibrated materials and scenario-driven studies.
Yared W. Bekele
Computational Geomechanics / Applied AI
I am a research scientist building computational pipelines that combine rigorous mechanics, domain expertise, and applied generative AI. I help engineering teams design resilient ground infrastructure, transform geotechnical data into insight, and automate decision-making for complex soil and rock systems.
Practice Domains
Where I spend most of my time: advancing modelling, tooling, and knowledge transfer for geotechnical engineering and computational mechanics.
AI-Augmented Workflows
Assistive agents that translate field briefs into reproducible models, automate data curation, and support safety-critical decisions.
Research Software Engineering
Python and C++ toolchains with tests, documentation, and automation pipelines that turn prototypes into maintainable assets.
Teaching & Mentorship
Seminars, studio courses, and supervision covering numerical methods, scientific programming, and applied problem solving.
Research Spotlight
Selected work at the intersection of computational geomechanics, data-driven modelling, and generative AI tooling.
GeoSim.AI: A New Paradigm in Computational Geomechanics
Introducing GeoSim.AI - a suite of AI assistants for numerical simulations in geomechanics that demonstrates the transformative potential of generative AI in geotechnical engineering.
Teaching & Mentorship

Counterintuitive Math
There are several mathematical statements or problems that do not make sense at all at first glance, until closely scrutinized. A detailed examination then proves that the statements are true and shows...
Let's build resilient, intelligent infrastructure.
Whether you need geotechnical simulation expertise, an AI-enabled engineering assistant, or a collaborator for computational research, I'm excited to help shape emerging ideas into working tools.
