Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMiguel Pérez is an Assistant Professor and computational mechanics researcher with nine years of experience specializing in fluid mechanics, sediment transport, fluid-structure interaction, and non-Newtonian rheology. He holds a PhD (Cum Laude) in Civil Engineering from Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and has blended academic and international research experience through postdoctoral fellowships and visiting positions at institutions including Caltech and UC Berkeley. Miguel develops and applies advanced numerical methods—finite volume, material point, finite element, and smoothed particle hydrodynamics—often tackling large-deformation and multiscale diffusion problems with a track record of GPU parallelization and custom CFD implementations. Known for curiosity and rapid self-learning, he pairs rigorous theory with practical coding, from FORTRAN/CUDA acceleration to ANSYS UDFs, and has pivoted between continuum-scale flows and atomistic diffusion modeling. Based in Madrid, he brings a rare combination of meshless-method expertise and hands-on numerical performance tuning that informs both teaching and cutting-edge research.
