Erica Doutel

In 2016, I joined the Thermal and Fluids R&D team at Efacec Power Solutions. My main responsibilities were modelling and understanding the cooling capacity in Power Transformers using CFD methodologies, and by analysis of the heat transfer effectiveness, conducting model validation activities using real scale transformers and scaled down models to improve their thermal performance.
In 2018, I joined ALTICE Labs as Thermal specialist engineer where my main responsibility was to minimize the total cost, weight and size of the components during the process of a PCB design using 3D CFD simulations and conducting experimental validation tests for several Altice products.
Throughout my professional career, I had the opportunity to work during all stages of product development, starting from the R&D phase, through the testing and optimization phases, supporting quality and certification processes and finally accompanying the production. My academic background and industry experience makes me a versatile and autonomous professional interacting with different subjects and projects with a particular focus in R&D and product development. If you are looking for partnerships in any of the above subjects, or other that my experience might be helpful, do not hesitate and contact me.
