Campos-Gómez, Juan Alfonso

Alfonso received his Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering Physics in 2000, with a minor in Artificial Intelligence, and his Master of Science degree in Energy Engineering with specialization in Thermal Engineering in 2002, from Tecnológico de Monterrey. His Master's thesis was focused on numerical simulation of air flow in cooling of electronics. Alfonso worked as Value Engineering Leader in Samsung SDI from 2003 to 2006, performing Six-Sigma and Statistical Process control projects. Later, Alfonso joined General Electric in 2006 and worked as Thermodynamics Application Engineer in the Energy Division until 2012, performing Thermodynamic heat balances for power plants, Steam Turbine performance improvement proposals, feasibility studies on steam extraction, cogeneration, and last stage bucket enhancements. From 2012 to 2014 Alfonso worked for General Electric Aviation as Aero-thermal System Modeling Engineer, where he implemented computer mathematical models to design gas turbines and aviation engines. In 2016, Alfonso joined the Ph. D. program in Materials Engineering at Purdue University, developing Thermodynamic Phase-field models and Coarse-graining techniques for simulation of Li-ion rechargeable batteries, and graduated in 2020. Alfonso started his career as Professor at Tecnológico de Monterrey in 2021.
