Dr Blanca Peña, CEng

Multidisciplinary Scientist, Educator, and Innovator.


Scientist & Innovator

I hold a PhD in Engineering from UCL (London) and my research focuses on the intersection of physics, systems and computational intelligence. My work is defined by the development of novel technologies and AI algorithms designed to solve complex industrial and social challenges.I possess two patents, over 20 publications, founded a deep-tech start-up and have successfully bridged the gap between theoretical research and tangible, protected innovation.



Educator

I don't believe in teaching people to memorize facts; I teach them to master concepts. In an age of rapid automation, I focus on equipping students with the cognitive skills that AI simply cannot replicate including: critical inquiry, judgment, resilience and creative problem-solving.For over 10 years, I have leveraged my background as a university lecturer and educator for everyone from secondary students to startup founders to build thinkers—the architects of the future.



Professional Engineer

While my foundation is in Naval Architecture, my expertise has expanded into the optimization of high-efficiency systems across diverse domains. I’ve had the privilege of contributing to multi-billion dollar initiatives and managing multi-million dollar projects, including high-caliber NATO defense contracts.I use CFD and AI to understand and optimize how complex systems interact with their environments, ensuring every solution is grounded in physics and refined by data.
