Dr Michael Crisp is a senior geotechnical engineer with 5 years of industry experience, particularly in numerical modelling for geotechnical problems. He has a PhD in Geotechnical Engineering on the topic of Site Investigation Optimisation.

Michael developed progressive validation for integral bridge analysis from 2D to 3D to provide confidence in the application of FEA analysis. His efforts in developing an integrated geotechnical and structural models have been key to achieve the transparency of results and model accuracy required for the project. 

Daniel Prudencio, with 22 years of experience, is a Design Lead and Technical Director for Bridges in Mott MacDonald Australia, who provided technical design input in the project since concept design to resolve technical challenges of skew and integral behaviour.

Daniel was a contributing member for the first Mott MacDonald Australia trial of integrated structural and geotechnical modelling for integral bridges in 2021. His experience led to the application of this methodology for the first time in an industry project.

With over 24 years of experience, Vinay Trivedi has developed extensive expertise in geotechnical engineering, supported by a broad understanding of related disciplines, including structural, pavement, rail, and civil engineering. His experience also includes extensive construction and site-based work, providing a practical understanding of ground conditions, construction methodologies, and the challenges encountered during project delivery. His strong analytical and problem-solving skills enable him to develop practical, technically robust, and constructible solutions, complemented by effective communication with clients, contractors, and multidisciplinary project teams.

Harsha Tadavarthi is a Team Leader - Geotechnical & Technical Manager at MIDAS IT, bringing over 9 years of professional experience in geotechnical engineering. He specialises in providing expert support to GTS NX and SoilWorks software users, helping advance geotechnical analysis across diverse sectors such as tunnelling, civil engineering, dams, and mining.
Through dedicated support services, consultancy, and training, Harsha aids professionals in achieving excellence in geotechnical numerical modelling. His role extends to conducting international workshops and courses, where he shares insights into the application and theoretical foundations of geotechnical modelling. In his capacity as Technical Manager, he oversees the technical activities of MIDAS IT within the Oceania region, ensuring the seamless delivery of advanced engineering solutions.
