Very sad to hear this news L… Yes, he was excellent and very knowledgeable
about SPECFEM and we will miss him.



Thanks

In memoriam - Dimitri Komatitsch

It is with great sadness and broken hearts that we let you know about
Dimitri’s passing away.

Dimitri has been the main developer and driving force behind the SPECFEM
software codes, a project he dedicated so much time and effort to. Over all
these years, he provided constant support to anybody and answered so many
questions with joy and knowledge. With his enthusiasm and motivation to
improve these codes, they have become a major contribution in computational
geosciences for investigating and understanding Earth’s structure and
subsurface processes.

Dimitri's work paved the way of computational seismology towards
high-performance computing, which opened up a whole new branch in the
careers of young geophysicists. He leaves behind a project in which we can
hardly imagine the size of his determination and willingness to share his
efforts.

We will miss him dearly.
