S. Mustafa Kamal is an Application Engineer and Certified CST Studio Suite Instructor at Hi-Tech Electronic Components (HITECH) in The Netherlands. Kamal specializes in EM simulation support and customer training for CST Studio Suite. He holds an M.Sc. from Politecnico di Torino and works daily with engineers to solve complex simulation challenges across antenna, PCB, and EMC domains.

Emmanuel Leroux is leading the EDA (Electronic Design Automation) strategy for the Simulation Brand (SIMULIA) at Dassault Systèmes. His job, with his Team, is to propose R&D, Partnership to meet a 3Y/6Ytarget for Multi-domain / Multi-scale MODeling and SIMulation (MODSIM) in Electronics involving also manufacturing process simulation. His responsibility includes also more tactical steps and guidance of Go-To-Market and Marketing for the simulation of Semiconductors and PCB (Printed Circuit Boards). Emmanuel received his Ph.D in Electronics in 1998 at University of Lille in France working together with Politecnico di Torino in Italy. In 1994, he joined High Design Technology (Torino) as a PCB Signal Integrity Applications Engineer. In 2020 he joined Computer Simulation Technology (CST), first as Application Engineer (Darmstadt, Germany) and then opening the CST office in Italy. From 2005 he was CST Country Manager for the Southern East Mediterranean area. After the acquisition of CST by Dassault Systèmes in 2016, he led the multi-domain simulation technical/sales Team in that same area. In 2021, he joined Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS Team with the responsibility to launch the Electromagnetic simulation business within SOLIDWORKS resellers at Worldwide level. With his new position Emmanuel has the ambition to plug in EDA MODSIM into a PLM/MBSE/Generative AI framework.

Mohan Jayawardene completed his Ph.D. at Loughborough University in 2000 and continued to work at the university as a Research Engineer based within the Center for Mobile Communication and Research (CMCR) from 2000 – 2005. In October 2005 Mohan joined CST AG as an application engineer and after a couple of years in a technical role took over the leadership of the sales and technical support team in the UK and by 2010 as the Country Manager for CST UK Ltd. After the acquisition of CST AG into DASSAULT SYSTEMES, his current role today is SIMULIA Sales Director responsible for leading the channel partner simulation team across EuroNorth.
