Tiago Sotto Mayor

About

Tiago Sotto Mayor is Principle Investigator at the Engineering Faculty of Porto University. He is the founder and head of SIMTECH, a research group in the Transport Phenomena Research Centre, focussing on the modelling and simulation of transport processes in materials, products and systems. With expertise in fluid mechanics, microfluidics, numerical simulation, optimisation of transport processes, and thermal physiology, he has been a partner in six industry-driven national projects, three FP7 projects, and partner or coordinator in four H2020 projects, which have attracted >€19 millions in funding, €3 millions of which to the entities he represents.

He has supervised >17 Master and 3 PhD theses, 2 of which currently ongoing, and has authored >65 scientific publications in international peer-reviewed journals and conferences. Since 2016, he serves as evaluator of funding proposals for the European Commission and several national science foundations (e.g. Switzerland, Latvia, Croatia).
