I completed my PhD in computational solid mechanics with a major in nonlinear static and dynamic structural simulations in 2018. I joined Aalto University in 2020 as a postdoctoral researcher where I focused on nonlinear mechanics of lattice structures. Then, in October 2022, I started my career at Wärtsilä Oy as a structural analyst, mainly working on strength analysis, thermomechanical simulations, and fatigue analysis.

Martin is a CAE engineer with 5 years of experience at Fagerhult Belysning AB, specializing in light simulations, structural analysis, and heat transfer. Prior to joining Fagerhult Belysning AB Martin worked in the automotive industry.

He holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Chemical Engineering from Chalmers University of Technology.

As a dedicated professional, Martin thrives on trying to optimize workflows and utilize available software’s to enhance product design, performance, and efficiency. By doing this complex engineering challenges can be solved in a much more efficient manner.

Outside of work, Martin cherish quality time with his family. He also likes to play board games, finding joy in strategic thinking, social interactions and friendly competition/cooperation.

Joe graduated from Cambridge University and gained a PhD from Imperial College before joining Jaguar Cars as an aerodynamicist in 1998. Joe was responsible for the aerodynamic development of a number of Jaguar vehicles, using physical tests methods and CFD and eventually became the Technical Specialist for Aerodynamics at JLR. Joe then joined Exa Corporation in 2005, as their first UK employee, in order to focus exclusively on CFD with the PowerFLOW toolset.

At Exa Joe was heavily involved in the development and deployment of the PowerFLOW toolset for automotive and motorsport across the world. In 2017 Exa was acquired by Dassault Systèmes, as part of their SIMULIA Brand. Joe now manages a global team dedicated to delivering automated MODISM process’ to SIMULIA customers worldwide.

Upon completing a PhD in Mechanical Engineering and a short tenure at Lockheed Martin, Chris joined Dassault Systemes (HKS, Inc. at the time), Abaqus R&D organization working on fundamental capabilities in the Abaqus solvers. From that beginning, he took on additional leadership activities in development, strategy, and product management. In 2016, he took the responsibility for the structural simulation R&D organization, and finally in 2024 he was appointed head of the global SIMULIA R&D organization, responsible for all of SIMULIA’s world-leading simulation domains.

Yingjie You is an Industrial Process Consultant and has worked in this role for Dassault Systèmes since September 2018.Her main responsibility is delivering Electromagnetic Simulation technical solutions to a wide variety of customers across the EuroNorth region for different industries. She specialises in antenna design, microwave component simulation and high power component simulation. Prior to her current role, she worked as an early stage researcher for the 5G European Research (Horizon-2020) Programme. She studied for both her MSc and PhD degree at the University of Sheffield, UK, focussing on antenna design and propagation models for wireless mobile network systems.

Jan Granlund is an Industrial Process Consultant at Dassault Systèmes, Jan’s main role is to support abaqus customers in the Nordics.

Prior to joining Abacus in 1998, Jan obtained an MSc in Civil engineering and a PhD in material modelling.

Joakim Asklund is an Industrial Process Consultant at Dassault Systèmes, Joakim’s main role is to support abaqus and 3DExperience customers in the Nordics.

Anton graduated as M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from Chalmers University of Technology in 1988.

He has more than 30 years of FEA experience from a wide range of industries using a broad range of structural analysis techniques.

He has been involved in using, supporting and developing new methods for Structural Optimization based on Tosca Structure since Dassault Systèmes acquired FE-Design in 2013.

His current position is Automation and Optimization Process Expert within the R&D organisation.
