Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFrank Torres is a Principal Research Engineer with over three decades of cross-disciplinary R&D experience and ten years in senior research roles, currently applying AI and machine learning to physical science problems at SRI International. He has led government, commercial, and internal-funded programs at PARC—ranging from ocean-deployed sensor networks and video-query AI to clean-tech pilot processes that combine electrochemical hydrogen production with direct air capture. A chemical engineer by training (PhD Princeton, BS UC Davis), he blends advanced mathematical simulation (finite element) with deep learning to solve engineering-physics and chemistry scale-up challenges and has hands-on pilot plant and process commercialization experience. Known for writing fundable proposals and building collaborative teams, he moves projects from concept through deployment and IP/licensing, an unusual mix of computational depth and practical scale-up savvy.
