Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarta Santasmasas is a Lecturer in Avionics with a decade of experience applying computational physics and CFD to real-world aerospace and urban wind problems. She combines deep domain knowledge from a PhD on interactive, real-time wind modelling with practical software skills—C++ and GPU/CUDA coupling—and a background in game-engine visualization to make simulations both fast and accessible. Her work spans academia and industry, developing tools like Urban-VWT and extending OpenFOAM for wind resource assessment, demonstrating a knack for translating user needs into optimized, robust CFD workflows. Fluent in teaching and technical support, she also brings aviation operational insight from earlier roles as an aircraft maintenance engineer and ATPL instructor. Continuously learning, she uniquely blends physics intuition, numerical methods, and game-inspired visualization techniques to make complex aerodynamic phenomena understandable and interactive.
