People

Jan Vos

Jan has 40 years experience in fluid mechanics simulations, including Magneto Hydrodynamic Flows, combustion, hypersonic flows and flows for aeronautical applications. Has developed several CFD codes for a wide variety of flow problems. Current interests are multi disciplanary simulation (Fluid Structure and Fluid Heat Transfer) simulations. Jan has been lecturer at the Laboratory of Computational Engineering at the EPFL.

Alain Gehri

Alain has more than 30 years experience in structured multi-block grid generation, and flow simulation for space/aeronautical applications. He is responsible for grid generation, development of CFD codes and post-processing tools.

Giacomo Benedetti

Giacomo is responsible for the development of the aircraft design framework CEASIOMpy and making CFD calculations using multiple solvers, as SU2 and NSMB. He is currently involved in the Horizon Europe project Colossus.

Romain Gauthier

Romain is responsible for the research and development of the “live skin” concept as part of the Horizon Europe BEALIVE project. This work involves extending the NSMB CFD solver to simulate unsteady flows over 2D airfoils and a full Airbus A320 aircraft, incorporating flapping actuators designed to enhance aerodynamic performance through active flow control.

Former employees

Dominique Charbonnier

18 years experience in CFD, first in the field of turbo-machinery applied to studies of rotor-stator interactions, film-cooling and heat transfer prediction. Since he joined CFSE in 2009, he works on a wide range of aeronautical and aerospace related projects, from mesh generation, simulations, post-processing to reporting. He his also responsible for the design of websites, the setup of collaborative platforms, and communication documents for European projects in which CFSE participates.

Aidan Jungo

8 years experience in CFD and aircraft design at CFSE after getting his mater degree at EPFL in mechanical engineering. He was responsible for the development of the Python framework CEASIOMpy and CFD calculations with SU2.

Malo Drougard

Young and dynamic computer scientist, specialized in computer graphic and UX design.
