Fabio Silva is a computer scientist in the Research Computing group at the Statewide California Earthquake Center (SCEC) since 2012. Prior to coming to SCEC, Fabio Silva worked at USC's Information Sciences Institute in the Computer Networks Division and in the Science Automation Technologies group. At SCEC, Fabio is the lead software developer for the Broadband Platform, where he is responsible for integrating software components from several science collaborators. In addition to the Broadband Platform, Fabio leads the development of the Ground Motion Simulation and Validation (GMSV) Toolkit, and contributes in the CSEP, and UCERF3-ETAS projects.
