Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndres Villegas is a Senior Data Scientist and Tech Lead specializing in Scientific ML, AI/DL optimization and differentiable programming with over a decade transforming automotive simulation and validation workflows. At Renault he led cross-functional R&D teams to hybridize physics and deep learning, cutting simulation error from 20% to 3%, halving validation lead-time, and eliminating nearly half of physical test campaigns through surrogate models and Virtual Twins. He invents practical solutions—holding 11 patents—and has a rare blend of hands-on expertise in fast-running 0D/1D/3D models, Matlab/Simulink toolchains and PyTorch/TensorFlow productionization. Andres also drives model calibration and operational-research approaches that accelerate design cycles (40%+ reductions) and has experience deploying cloud-based UIs for global engineering use. Trained in fluid mechanics and ICE engineering and recently upskilled in AI project management at Mines Paris, he pairs deep domain knowledge with modern SciML techniques to shrink prototyping cost and computation time.
