M.A. Cabrera

M.A. Cabrera is a Researcher at the Delft University of Technology within the Civil Engineering & Geosciences school and Geo-engineering department. His research focuses on geotechnical engineering, granular material behavior, and geo-environmental challenges.

His work explores granular flows, soil mechanics, and centrifuge modeling, with applications to planetary science (e.g., Mars regolith) and disaster prevention in tropical environments. Recent studies highlight scientific machine learning integration and offshore wind anchor design.

Notable trends in his 15 most recent publications include granular collapse dynamics, vibro-driver pile penetration, and submarine landslide impacts on infrastructure. These span disciplines like Civil Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, and Planetary Science, with subfields focusing on grain size distribution, runout prediction, and fluid-particle interactions.

Scientific awards include the

• Bienal prize on research (2021)
• Dejando Huella (2022)
• Marie Curie ESR Fellowship (2012)

He chairs the program committee for the 5th European Conference on Physical Modelling (2024), contributing to geotechnical physical modeling advancements. His affiliations and collaborations with institutions like TU Delft underscore his expertise in experimental geomechanics.
