Jose Omar Betancourt

Voxel-based Methods for Modeling Multiphysics Processes

After receiving his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Boise State University, Omar joined MSOL on working with the AI Institute for Food Systems on modeling and simulating drone mapping and aerial drops, optimizing flight paths and payload distribution.

He is now a year-round intern for Sandia National Labs working on multi-physics modeling and simulation of thermochemical and mechanical processes in woven materials during hypersonic re-entry. In his spare time, Omar enjoys fishing and spending time with his cat.
