About Marcos G. Ortiz

Mechanical Engineer | Technical Lead | ConsultantI am a multi-lingual, hands-on, mechanical engineer, technical leader, and project manager with experience in the laboratory, the classroom, the drawing board, and the manufacturing floor as product and process developer, test engineer, and in a quality support role. My experience encompasses mathematical modeling, analysis, and simulation, control systems, thermohydraulics, thermophysical properties measurement, Instrumentation and instrument development, data analysis and system identification, scaling analyses, heat transfer, mechanical vibrations, fluid dynamics, uncertainty quantification, reliability and risk assessment, and combustion. I am experienced in the development, design, and implementation of non-intrusive instrumentation and monitoring systems. I am proficient with productivity tools like MATLAB, Excel, and Mathematica, and platforms such as Macs, Windows, and UNIX. I am also experienced in new product and manufacturing process development, troubleshooting, and support. I have authored 33 refereed papers, over 50 conference papers, two NUREG/CR reports, and 14 reports of archival quality. I have been a very successful problem solver and out-of-the-box thinker, as demonstrated by 12 patents awarded, all of which are solutions to complex technical problems.Specialties: Mathematical Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis of complex multi-domain physical systemsTest design, execution (I like to do them myself), and data analysis (fluid, thermal, electrical, or mechanical systems)Experienced user of statistical analyses, evaluation of risks, and decision-makingExperienced in teaching and communicating information effectively
