Alejandro D. Otero is a CONICET Researcher leading the Renewable Energy Group at CSC-CONICET. He specializes in numerical simulation techniques for solving PDE problems in fluid and solid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, and multiphysics (fluid–structure interaction, thermomechanics, etc.) as they are typically encountered in sciences and engineering. Lately, he has devoted himself to the implementation of these techniques in HPC environments. Alejandro D. Otero is particularly interested in their application to the simulation of wind power generation phenomena. Alejandro D. Otero received his degree as a Mechanical Engineer (2002) and a Doctor in Engineering (2008) from the Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA). He is a Professor of Renewable Energy Courses at UBA; has been a Postdoctoral Research Scholar (2008) and Visiting Research Professor (2013) at Michigan Tech University, USA; and has been a Scientific Collaborator at GFZ, Helmholtz-Zentrum Potsdam, Germany (2015). His research interests can be summarized in the following keywords: Continuum Mechanics: Solids and Fluids; Fluid–Structure Interaction; Partial Differential Equation Approximation Methods; Finite Element Method; Computational Mechanics; High-Performance Computing; Renewable Energy; and Wind Energy.
