The SIMULIA Life Sciences Industry Day is an in-person, user-focused event concentrating on Dassault Systèmes’ simulation technologies for the medical devices and biotech/pharma industries.
Attendees will have the opportunity to meet, share ideas, and network while hearing from industry and Dassault Systèmes experts on innovative technology solutions that empower Life Science simulation processes.
Keynote Presenters
Dr. Jiayu Liu, Becton Dickinson
Dr. Jiayu Liu, Becton Dickinson
Jiayu Liu has a Bachelor's Degree and Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering from Xi’an Jiaotong University in China. He then obtained a Diplôme d'Ingénieur from Ecole Centrale Marseille in France and a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University in the US. Jiayu is now a Staff Engineer in the R&D team of BD Medication Delivery Solutions. He has a decade of experience in the design of medical device and finite element modelling.
Jocelyn Davee, Boston Children's Hospital
Jocelyn Davee, Boston Children's Hospital
Jocelyn Davee received a Master of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering from Boston University. She then joined the surgical electrophysiology and computational 3D modeling teams within the Heart Center at Boston Children’s Hospital.
Jocelyn’s research interests include applying quantitative approaches to pre-surgical planning through 3D modeling and simulation with a focus on aortic arch reconstruction. Additional research areas include optimization of surgical conduction system localization and medical device design.
Dr. Shannen Kizilski, Boston Children's Hospital
Dr. Shannen Kizilski, Boston Children's Hospital
Shannen Kizilski received her PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Minnesota, where she developed a proof-of-concept compliant stent-graft for aortic dissection. As a research fellow in the Heart Center at Boston Children’s Hospital for the past two years, Shannen has led efforts to develop a virtual surgery workflow to design patient-specific patches for aortic arch reconstruction.
Dr. Kizilski’s research interests are in quantitative evaluation and patient-specific planning of interventions for patients with single ventricle heart defects through in-vitro and computational modeling, with a focus on translating her findings into practical tools to aid in clinical decision-making. She has a broad background in soft tissue biomechanics, in-vitro flow modeling, and medical device design.
