Biography:
Dr Tayeb Zeguer hold a first honour degree in mechanical Engineering, a master degree in computer aided design and a doctor ( PhD) in optimisation and robustness. He joined Jaguar in 1984 in power train department. He worked as CAE analyst in various departments using linear and non linear codes on various components and vehicle assemblies. He specialised in multi disciplinary optimisation (MDO), safety and advanced CAE. Tayeb has proven ability to take CAE application to the next level, whether at component level , subsystem assemblies or complete vehicle. He has consistently shown leadership and vision to define a successful CAE strategy resulting in increasing accuracy, speed and robustness within JLR. Tayeb goal now is to provide JLR with an integrated, automated and design improvements methods in the use of MDO as a system engineering at a concept stages in order to carry out architecture system optimisation MDO considering all attributes for characterisation and target cascade from system to components using AI for speed at concept to delivery stages.
