Dr. Leo Torres
Dr. Torres is a Lecturer in the College of Engineering at California State University, Long Beach, where he has taught and helped in courses in engineering design, aerodynamics, scientific research communication, and research methods. He also serves as a Research Analyst at the Center of Energy and Environmental Research Services (CEERS) there at ºÚÁÏÍø, leading and contributing to projects in computational fluid dynamics, machine learning applications, and experimental methods for passive and active aerodynamic design applications in energy and aeronautics.
A recent graduate from the Joint Ph.D. program Engineering and Computational Mathematics between Claremont Graduate University and ºÚÁÏÍø, as well as master’s degrees in Comp. Applied Mathematics and Mechanical Engineering from each of these institutions respectfully. His research has been presented at national conferences of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), and he is the author of multiple technical publications on aerodynamics and renewable energy systems. Holder of a patent in wind energy, and two provisional/pending patents. His current work bridges mechanical, aeronautical and aerospace engineering with Machine Learning approaches, aiming to advance sustainable energy and aerodynamic innovation
