Jan Machacek started the numgeo project in early 2017 during his time as a PhD researcher. Patrick Staubach joined the development of numgeo in 2018. Since then, numgeo is our joined effort to combine advanced element formulations and sophisticated constitutive models for the simulation of geotechnical boundary value problems. In the meantime, we are happy to have the active support in the development of new features in numgeo from: Merita Tafili, Antonia Nitsch, Christoph Schmüdderich, Antaeus Bettmann and Rahul Dogra
