Sajid Asif, an Industry Process Consultant at Dassault Systèmes, leads SIMULIA EuroNorth's technical sales engagements, specializing in Electromagnetics technology across multiple industries. Previously, as an Antenna Engineer, he focused on designing, developing, and testing passive RF/microwave circuits and phased array antennas for Satcom and terrestrial applications. Alongside his industry work, he served as a Researcher and Lecturer at various academic institutions. Besides his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees, Dr. Asif also holds a PhD in Electrical & Computer Engineering from North Dakota State University, USA. He is a member of IET and holds senior membership in IEEE.

Mohan Jayawardene completed his Ph.D. at Loughborough University in 2000, where he subsequently worked as a Research Engineer at the Center for Mobile Communication and Research (CMCR) until 2005. In October 2005, Mohan joined CST AG as an Application Engineer. By 2007, he transitioned from a technical role to lead the sales and technical support team and in 2010 he was appointed as the Country Manager for CST UK Ltd.

Following the acquisition of CST AG by DASSAULT SYSTEMES, Mohan took on the role of SIMULIA Sales Director, overseeing channel partners. Mohan currently leads the sales teams in both direct and indirect channels for SIMULIA in the Euro North Region.

Dr. Ersin Polat is an Industry Process Consultant at Dassault Systèmes, where he has worked since November 2022, specializing in electromagnetic and multiphysics simulation for RF and microwave applications. During his doctoral studies at the Institute of Microwave Engineering and Photonics at the Technical University of Darmstadt, he worked on the design, simulation, and experimental characterization of RF and microwave devices and led the Tunable Radio Frequency Devices Research Group. He received his M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering in 2017 and his Ph.D. in 2023, both from TU Darmstadt. His dissertation was awarded as the best dissertation of 2023 in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology.

Adrien is an Application Engineer for SIMULIA IVCAD Suite. Born in France in 1997, he received the engineering degree in electronics and telecommunications from ENSIL in 2020, with a specialization in RF and microwave electronics. His work mainly focuses on RF system characterization and high-frequency measurement techniques. He has contributed to the development of software measurement tools across industrial and research environments, with a focus on non-linear components characterization.

Dr. Frank Demming-Janssen is an expert in electromagnetics, RF and microwave simulation, with more than 20 years of professional experience in numerical field computation and antenna engineering. He studied Engineering Physics at FH Münster, graduating as Dipl.-Ing. (FH), and subsequently earned his Dr. rer. nat. (PhD) from the Technical University of Chemnitz, specializing in electromagnetic theory and high-frequency applications.

Throughout his career, Dr. Demming-Janssen has focused on fullwave electromagnetic simulation, antenna design, and RF component optimization. He has held technical and managerial roles in the field of simulation software and is currently Managing Director of SIMUSERV GmbH, where he leads consulting, training, and support activities related to advanced electromagnetic simulation technologies.
