Dr. Adrián Lozano Durán

Biography

Adrián Lozano-Durán is an Associate Professor in the Lynn Booth & Kent Kresa Department of Aerospace at Caltech. He earned his Bachelor of Science from the Polytechnic University of Madrid in 2010, followed by a Master of Science in 2012 and a Ph.D. in 2015. His research primarily revolves around fluid dynamics, with a particular emphasis on turbulence theory and numerical simulation. Professor Lozano-Durán's work includes significant contributions to causal inference, reduced-order modeling, and the control of turbulence using information theory. He is also investigating machine-learning closure models in computational fluid dynamics, specifically focusing on applications relevant to aerospace across a range of speeds from low-speed aerodynamics to supersonic and hypersonic flows. His research interests have recently included topics like turbulent flow, machine learning techniques in fluid dynamics, and the mathematical understanding of cause and effect in related systems.
