Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolLouis Gagnon is a researcher and hands-on engineer with 11 years of experience developing CFD, multibody dynamics, and aeroelastic tools for rotorcraft, VTOLs, and wind energy systems. He combines deep code development—writing new CFD boundary conditions and rotating interfaces—with experimental validation such as laser-based blade profiling and prototype testing. His work spans academia and industry across Europe, including Humboldt- and Polimi-funded projects, where he led cyclocopter design, FSI simulations, and wind turbine modelling. Known for mentoring students and translating complex physics into practical simulation platforms, he thrives in roles that value technical leadership and experimental rigor. A detail that sets him apart is his track record of coupling high-fidelity CFD with multibody dynamics to produce validated prototypes, not just papers.
