Luis is a Senior Engineer at DNV in the Northern Europe Project Development and Engineering Team, with 13 years of professional experience in the energy sector. He began his career as an Electrotechnical, Data Analyst Engineer, and project management in the oil and gas industry, earning a master’s degree in Oil Industry Management in Chile during this period. Over the past six years, Luis has focused on the energy transition, leveraging his expertise in data analysis, software development, and project management to support the shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy. In 2020, he completed a Master of Science in Renewable Energies in Germany with a merit thesis about using machine learning for wind speed vertical extrapolation. Since joining DNV, Luis has specialized in analyzing wind farm operational data to assess its performance and forecast energy yields. He leads the Icing Climate Assessments group, developing advanced analytical tools for onshore wind farms in cold climates and supporting turbine and ice protection system manufacturers with validation works. In addition, Luis is actively involved in innovation projects, driving digitization within his team and developing software for wind farm analysis aligned with German regulatory frameworks. He has also contributed to research groups, specializing in data analysis and machine learning for solar and wind technologies. Outside of work, Luis enjoys gravel and road cycling and bouldering and has recently taken up kickboxing. During my stay in Sweden for WinterWind 2025, I want to have my first experience skiing and hope to make it back home without too many bruises.
