The founders of the firm are a small number of independent workers coming from the laboratory of computational engineering (LIN) at the Federal Polytechnic School of Lausanne (EPFL), with different academic backgrounds, and several years of experience in both industry and academic fields.

Dr. Angelo Casagrande obtained his Ph.D. at EPFL in mechanical engineering, working on parallel mesh adaptation techniques. He previously worked on shape optimisation at the Italian Ship Model Basin (INSEAN), a research institution with expertise in the field of naval and marine hydrodynamics, after finishing a M.Sc. in Maritime Engineering with specialisation in Maritime CFD & Applied Mechanics.

Dr. Pénélope Leyland is a senior project leader in aeronautics and aerospace engineering in close collaboration with European industrial partners. She has more than 35 years of experience in these fields, and is well known in the international scientific community.

Mr. Pierre Wilhelm is an EPFL graduate in mechanical engineering. Specialised in aerodynamics, computational fluid dynamics and CAD drawing, for his master project he performed theoretical and experimental aerodynamics analysis of a space re-entry vehicle for Mars planetary exploration (MetNet project). Half of the project was carried out in Russia (BMSTU).

Mr. Michele Gaffuri is an EPFL graduate in mechanical engineering, specialist in aeronautics and space applications with three years of experience on European projects (such as HISAC).
