Major: Mechanical Engineering
Lucas Spies is a PhD student in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Texas A&M University. He earned his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Universidad Tecnologica Nacional, FRSF, Argentina. He worked for three years as an undergraduate student researcher at the Fluid Dynamics lab (FLOW) in the ME department at UTN-FRSF. He was involved in the study, design, and manufacturing of vertical axis wind turbines. He also holds a Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Virginia Tech. As part of his work, he developed a Machine-Learning based tool to predict Tire-Pavement Interaction Noise (TPIN) using both Tire and Pavement parameters. His research focuses on the physics behind the flow-induced noise phenomenon in head wearables and consumer electronics and hearing aid devices.
