Wilkins Aquino obtained a BSCE from Purdue Engineering in 1994. He holds a MS and a PhD in Civil Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He worked as a consulting engineer in the Engineering Mechanics and Infrastructure Division of Simpson, Gumpertz, and Heger, Inc. in Waltham, Massachussets for one year before joining the faculty at Cornell University in 2003. He has broad interests in computational mechanics, including computational inverse problems and their applications in engineering and biomedicine, chemo-mechanics, machine learning in mechanics, multiscale problems, fluid-structure interaction, acoustics-structure interaction, and generalized finite element methods, among others. He is also a member of the fields of Applied Mathematics, Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, and Computational Science and Engineering at Cornell University.
