Pedro Arduino received his Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from the Universidad Nacional de C-rdoba, Argentina in 1988, a Master of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of Puerto Rico at MayagYez in 1993, and a Master's of Science and Ph.D degrees from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1995 and 1996, respectively. His research interests include constitutive modeling of soils, mechanics of porous media, and numerical methods in geomechanics. In 1997, he joined the faculty of the University of Washington as an assistant professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
