Haoguang Mai is a postgraduate researcher at Warwick University in UK, specializing in finite element modeling and simulation using Abaqus. His research focuses on aircraft tyre structural behaviour, including reinforcement modeling, contact mechanics, and tribological performance. He is currently developing advanced simulation methodologies for aircraft tyres, with particular emphasis on embedded reinforcement techniques and 2D-to-3D model transitions. His work aims to improve the accuracy and reliability of tyre simulations for engineering applications.

Dr Leon Cordingley has worked at Dassault Systemes for nearly 20 years. In his role as Industry Process Consultant he is responsible for supporting users of SIMULIA products, in particular 3DEXPERINECE and Abaqus. Leon has knowledge across a wide range of simulation capabilities, including composites, additive manufacturing, heat transfer, HPC and python.

Risikesan Mahendran is a EuroNorth SIMULIA Industry Process Consultant at Dassault Systèmes, working within the EuroNorth Structures team. He provides technical expertise and support for SIMULIA solutions, including the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, across Transportation & Mobility, Aerospace & Defence, and Marine & Offshore sectors. He is a Chartered Engineer with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and a Professional Simulation Engineer certified by NAFEMS.

Jamie joined Dassault in January 2023 and works within the global Industry Process Success Transportation & Mobility group, developing, enabling & deploying structural workflows for the automotive sector.

Prior to that he worked for the Red Bull Formula 1 team where he created and lead the FEA tools and process development group looking after the simulation strategy for the structural teams across the Red Bull Campus.

I started to work in Dassault Systemes Simulia since 2011 as an Abaqus support specialist. I now work as an industry process consultant. My expertise is mainly about FEA simulation and fatigue analysis. The products include Abaqus, fe-safe, TOSCA and 3DEXPERIENCE.
