Research achievements other than research outputs
Dr Pedroso is an expert in numerical and computer methods for solid mechanics and materials modelling. He has a strong background in tensor calculus, partial differential equations, computational geometry, and computer programming, among other topics. Dr Pedroso has been developing methods to model the mechanical behaviour of porous media including mixtures of solids, liquids and gases. This expertise is now being carried over to modelling metals. He has also recently been engaged in machine learning, artificial intelligence, general nonlinear multi-constrained/multi-objective optimisation and structural reliability. Dr Pedroso has also developed new methods in molecular dynamics to model solids and granular assemblies. Therefore, his research work is quite multi-disciplinary but revolves around computational engineering and mechanics.

Significant change or advance of knowledge in your field.
Dr Pedroso has independently developed mathematical models, solution methods, algorithms and computer codes for a number of applications in geometry, mathematics, physics and engineering. He has journal papers in top-journals including papers published with him as the first author. He has also a number of papers submitted with some under revision.
He has a comprehensive set of computer libraries written by his research team and published at https://github.com/cpmech that serve as a foundation for his students’ and his research work on computational mechanics. These include recent and new evolutionary algorithms for multi-objective and multi-constraints optimisation (publications are underway). The set of libraries has been developed with much hard work and has been made open source for the benefit of the scientists, engineers and the community. The number of innovative, advanced and much organised computer code is significant as illustrated by simply looking at the code repositories. The indirect impact of this work is demonstrated by the number of followers and stars gained along the years through the GitHub social networking. For example, Gosl (Go Scientific Library) has attracted many stars.
