Enrique M. del Castillo is an assistant professor at Northeastern University in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department. Previously, he was a postdoctoral research associate working with Prof. Liuchi Li in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Princeton University. Enrique obtained his MS and PhD in Civil Engineering (Geomechanics) at Stanford University, where he was advised by Prof. Ronaldo Borja and received the National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship, the Stanford Graduate Fellowship, and the Siebel Scholarship. Prior to his time at Stanford, Enrique completed an AB in Geosciences at Princeton University. Enrique's research focuses on computational modeling of faults, fractures, and deformation bands, as well as on the post-failure behavior of geomaterials using meshfree methods, with implications for understanding earthquake-related hazards and improving critical infrastructure resilience.
