Simon has over thirty years’ experience of developing and applying simulation strategies in industries as varied as aerospace, defence, oil and gas, nuclear, renewable power and chemical process.
Experience
After a first degree in Mechanical Engineering and then a PhD, Simon 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 Simon 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.
