Andres Santiago is a Mechanical Engineer (2017) and Master in Mechanical Engineering (2022) graduated from the National University of Colombia (UNAL). He has just started his PhD in Engineering Physics at the Basque Center of Applied Mathematics (BCAM) and at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), within the Computational Fluid Dynamics – Modelling and Simulation Group. He has more than four years of work experience in the OIL&GAS sector as a Specialist in Pipe Stress Analysis, applying numerical methodologies to the analysis of interconnected piping systems and equipment. He served as a university professor of the subject “Applications of finite elements” for undergraduates in mechanical and mechatronics engineering at UNAL. He developed his master’s research focused on the application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques in the study of different phenomena associated with the dynamics of human respiratory flow, particularly in the development of dimensional reduction methodologies oriented to computational optimization. He has participated in a wide variety of research relative to the application of numerical simulation, the most recent being the ballistic study of missiles, the analysis of flow patterns in a surgical operating room and a comparison of blood flow phenomena through healthy and coarcted human aortas. His current scientific interest is focused on numerical and computational analysis of biofluids, particularly airflow through the airways and hemodynamics of blood flow.
