Luciano Castillo

• Comment: Tone is still concerning. Wikipedia can not talk about his papers being bold solutions. Nor can we say much about them at all if no else is writing about them. Slywriter (talk) 02:01, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

• Comment: Tone is very promotional - the draft is more likely to be accepted if you rewrite more neutrally and strip out words like "visionary" "unique solutions" "best scientists" Rusalkii (talk) 04:57, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

• Comment: blogs and YouTube are not reliable sources. Theroadislong (talk) 20:15, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

• Comment: The awards do not appear to be notable and 14 of them have zero sources. Theroadislong (talk) 21:00, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

• Comment: May also be an autobiography which has already bee drawn to the creator's attention. See the linked page and also here for why this is not typically a good idea. Eagleash (talk) 20:19, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Luciano Castillo (born December 6, 1965 in Puerto Rico) is an engineer known for his work in theoretical and experimental fluid dynamics, turbulence and wind energyand for applying scaling analysis and asymptotic methods. He is currently the Kenninger Chair Professor of Renewable Energy and Power Systems in the School of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, where he is also the Dean’s Faculty Fellow for Hispanic/Latino Engagement , Purdue University, (2019-present).

Education

Luciano Castillo started his career at University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez and transferred to the State University of New York at Buffalo (SUNY) where he earned his bachelor's degree (1990) and doctorate (1997) in mechanical engineering.

Career

In 1999, Castillo joined the faculty at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York as an assistant professor. In 2011, he joined Texas Tech University as Don-Kay-Clay Cash Distinguished Engineering Chair in Wind Energy and was also appointed as president of the National Wind Resource Center in Lubbock, Texas. in 2017, Castillo moved to Purdue University as the Kenninger Professor of Renewable Energy and Power Systems.
