Justin is the senior AI/ML specialist at Siemens Digital Industries for Simulation and Test products. He sits in a product management role for the company’s portfolio of simulation software. Justin earned a bachelors, masters, and Ph. D in mechanical engineering from the University of Central Florida in Thermos-Fluids.
Justin’s early career was spent in a Siemens Energy turbomachinery lab, characterizing heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and turbulence in gas turbine secondary flow systems. His master’s and doctoral research was on film cooling flow-fields, predicting turbulence and thermal fields with advanced turbulence modeling and machine learning approaches.
Justin has been advancing his technical AI proficiency since his first professional AI experience in 2017, which led to a patented workflow incorporating CFD flow-field results, based on CT scans, into machine learning models. Incorporating information from clinical surveys, (physical) breathing measurements, and CFD results into a machine learning framework provides improved diagnosis of COPD.
Since then, Justin joined Siemens full time to apply AI/ML to a wide variety of simulation and test products across many industries (automotive, aerospace, marine, etc.). Justin’s focus has centered on efforts to augment the capabilities of engineering simulation using machine learning. He helps customers solve problems using machine learning, which adds value to their business and delivered products.
