After completing a PhD in numerical modeling of lubricated contacts in the National Institute of Applied Science (Lyon), Vincent pursued a postdoctoral research position focused on laser welding modeling in the Atomic Energy and Alternative Energies Commission. He is currently the CTO at SIMTEC, where he oversees innovative projects in the field of engineering and research simulations. In his current role, he plays a key part in the “EIC Live-Mirror Consortium” project as an external collaborator, focusing on the modeling of piezoelectric actuators and their impact on mirror deformations. This project merges precision engineering with advanced simulations, showcasing his expertise in both theoretical and applied modeling techniques.
