Hilde Pérez Garcia
Professor, University of Leon
Leon, Spain, Spanish
Hilde is professor of Mechanical Engineering and head of the Department of Mechanical, Computer and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Leon in Spain. Her research fields are modelling and simulation of machining processes, micro-manufacturing and high-performance machining. Being conscious of the increasingly lower number of women in engineering degrees, she joined a mentoring program designed to encourage scientific and technological vocations in young girls. She loves her job, but she needs to take action, to go beyond traditional academic life. She is excited to join Homeward Bound and looking forward to learning from this amazing experience to inspire future generations of women for a better world.
