西蒙 has over thirty years’ experience of developing and applying simulation strategies in industries as varied as aerospace, 国防, oil and 气体, 核, renewable power and chemical process.
Experience
After a first degree in Mechanical Engineering and then a PhD, 西蒙 immediately became a professional solver of engineering problems. After a spell of mathematical modeling in the glass industry, he moved into consultancy and has worked there ever since.
His interest has always been in identifying how engineering simulation can be best used to improve the performance and safety of major products. The first step is always building an understanding of the underlying problem, and 西蒙 has a rare skill for quickly learning the key points of a new area. He then uses his extensive knowledge of different modeling approaches and methods to identify the best route to a working and useful solution.
西蒙 is based in the Bristol office of im体育APP Digital Engineering but travels widely and can regularly be found presenting or chairing technical conferences and seminars.
Career highlights
西蒙’s extremely varied career includes many highlights, some of which are:
- Developing a new dynamic and hydrodynamic model for lifeboats;
- Overseeing the conceptual design and analysis of a new 核 fusion reactor heat exchanger;
- Explosion modeling and dynamic response of a hydrogen fuel cell;
- Novel techno-economic model development for offshore energy applications.
