SIMULIA Americas Users Conference

Sebastien obtained his mechanical engineering degree from EPFL in Switzerland in 2001. He began his career at MTU Aeroengines in Munich, focusing on aerodynamics and structural analysis. Later, he assumed various Technical Director roles at EXA Corp in Europe. In 2014, Sebastien became the Managing Director for the Aerospace Industry, a position he held until the integration of EXA into Dassault Systèmes in 2019. At Dassault Systèmes, he served as SIMULIA Head of Aerospace and SIMULIA GEO Leader EUROCENTRAL until July 2023, when he transitioned to the role of SIMULIA VP Sales and Marketing.

Dr. Ramji Kamakoti is the North America Modelling and Simulation Director at Dassault Systemes. He has over 20 years of experience in computational modelling and simulation focusing in areas such as fluid dynamics, structure dynamics and multi-physics in general. His team is currently responsible for leading and providing technical solutions that involves integrated simulation-based design for a variety of industries. He received his masters and PhD in Engineering Mechanics from the University of Florida.

Victor earned his PhD from Duke University in 1996 in the area of computational mechanics. He then joined what was the Abaqus R&D development in Rhode Island, which today is part DASSAULT SYSTEMES SIMULIA Corp. Victor has worked in a variety of R&D positions through the years and is today the Senior Technology Director and the Chief Scientific Officer for Structural applications. In the last few years at SIMULIA Victor has led from a simulation technology perspective a variety of multiphysics/multiscale simulation initiatives including machine learning, battery cell engineering, additive manufacturing, micro-mechanics based multiscale materials, particle methods for extreme deformation, oil and gas multiphysics formulations, realistic human simulation capabilities, co-simulation-based multi-physics modeling.
