Meet The Team
Silvia Mazzoni, PhD
Silvia Mazzoni has been training OpenSees users for over 20 years. She developed the first OpenSees Days workshops at UC Berkeley. As an independent consultant, through her On-Line academy, she now works with Engineering firms in adopting OpenSees into their practice through training and element development.
Silvia is currently also a Project Scientist and Lecturer at UCLA. Currently, she teaches the graduate course on Structural Dynamics in the Fall.
Michael Scott, PhD
Michael Scott is a Professor of Structural Engineering and a core developer of OpenSees. He wrote and maintains many of the nonlinear element and constitutive models, as well as nonlinear solution algorithms, in OpenSees. He has led sessions at previous OpenSees Days on how to use and develop finite element models. Michael has also adopted OpenSeesPy, the Python interpreter for OpenSees, in his research and teaching.
