Associate Professor, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos

Biography

Jorge Saavedra is an aerospace engineer by the Polytechnic University of Valencia. He is also a Research Master from the von Karman Institute for Fluid Mechanics in the Turbomachinery and Propulsion department. Jorge obtained his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering at Purdue University analyzing the impact of off-design, unsteady operation on the near-wall flow region on airfoils and diffusers. He is currently an Associate Professor at the Rey Juan Carlos University of Madrid in aerospace engineering degrees. His research work focuses on efficient forced convection cooling of propulsion systems' internal components, as well as active flow control to improve aerodynamic performance in off-design operations.
