Luis San Andrés

Professor Emeritus · Texas A&M University · company speakers →

Luis San Andrés, former Mast-Childs Chair Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M University (1991-2023), conducted experimental and analytical research on the rotordynamics of pump seals for rocket engine turbopumps and electrical submersible pumps and compressor seals for oil and gas applications. Luis is a Life Fellow of ASME, STLE, GPPS, and a member of the Industrial Advisory Committees for the Texas A&M Turbomachinery and Pump Symposia. Dr. San Andrés and graduate students published over 200 journal papers, several recognized as best in various international conferences. ASME distinguished Dr. San Andrés with the 2022 Aircraft Engine Technology Award (International Gas Turbine Institute), the 2023 Mayo D. Hersey Award (Tribology Division), and the 2025 Henry R. Worthington Medal for his contributions to pump rotordynamics.
