Dedicated to mentoring the next generation of STEM researchers to create a more sustainable ecosystem and better way of life for humankind. Luciano Castillo, PhD
My website shares some of the highlights of my teaching career, both national and international, that have given me the opportunity to work with distinguished colleagues and partnerships to explore new mentoring and research opportunities.
Some of the initiatives will be replicated with new funding. Meanwhile, other innovative research initiatives and patents are underway in keeping with my vision to create a more sustainable ecosystem and better way of life for humankind.

LATinE: Latinx Trailblazers in EngineeringMay 20-22, 2020, at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana
PROGRAM GOALS:
The goal of the LATinE program at Purdue Engineering is to prepare the best and brightest Latinx/Hispanic scholars nearing completion of their PhD degrees or postdoctoral appointments at US universities for a career in engineering academia. Those selected as LATinE fellows will attend a two-day workshop that will provide opportunities for scientific interactions, career-oriented discussions, and networking.
