Computational mechanics tech lead
code_aster · Salomé
I am an expert in computational mechanics and a trainer in scientific simulation. Holding a PhD in computational mechanics, I spent several years in academia, working in close collaboration with industry on advanced modeling and finite element analysis challenges. Alongside my research activities and collaborative projects, I taught programming and scientific computing at an engineering school, which allowed me to develop solid pedagogical experience. Today, as Computational Mechanics Tech Lead at Simvia, I bring over 10 years of experience in computational mechanics and industrial simulation environments. I design and deliver high-value training programs for engineers, R&D teams, and PhD students, with a strong emphasis on combining theoretical rigor, software best practices, and real-world applications. My goal is to make complex concepts accessible and to offer a clear progression toward operational skills that can be put to use immediately after training — from an introduction to the methods all the way through to their integration into industrial workflows.
