Dr Karol Lewandowski

As a Research Software Engineer and a co-founder of Mesh-Oriented Solutions, I combine deep academic knowledge with extensive professional software development experience. My journey in finite element analysis began with a PhD at the University of Glasgow, leading to the co-development of MoFEM.

My contributions include numerical frameworks utilized in various fields, including biomechanics, nuclear energy and manufacturing and more. Skilled in crafting powerful Finite Element Method codes, primarily using modern C++, I also leverage modern development tools and methodologies for optimal efficiency and scalability.

My commitment as the Managing Director of Mesh-Oriented Solutions is to provide innovative and effective numerical solutions, ensuring they meet the diverse and demanding needs.

Dr Andrei Shvarts

I am a co-founder and Scientific Director of Mesh-Oriented Solutions, and I also hold a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) position at the James Watt School of Engineering, University of Glasgow. Additionally, I am an academic member of the Glasgow Computational Engineering Centre.

After earning an MSc in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science (2014) from St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (alma mater of Boris Galerkin), I obtained a PhD in Computational Mechanics from École des Mines de Paris, receiving two national prizes for the best PhD in France (2019). I began contributing to MoFEM during my postdoc at the University of Glasgow in collaboration with EDF Energy (2019–2021), focusing on modelling fracture in nuclear graphite bricks.

In my current academic role, I lead projects developing and applying advanced simulation tools powered by MoFEM across structural, mechanical, electrical, and biomedical engineering. My work centres on novel, disruptive approaches to numerical modelling, with a focus on real-world industrial applications. My experience in developing MoFEM and supervising research and industry projects forms the foundation for my role as the Scientific Director of MOS. You can find an overview of my academic background and project experience in my Curriculum Vitae.

Prof Łukasz Kaczmarczyk

I am a co-founder and Technical Director of Mesh-Oriented Solutions and a Professor of Applied Computational Modeling at the University of Glasgow in the Glasgow Computational Engineering Centre. I have nearly two decades of experience developing code for industrial applications. My software solutions are used by EDF and Jacobs for structural integrity problems in aggressive nuclear reactor environments. I also provide finite element technology solutions, working with companies such as Rolls-Royce, Siemens, and Freudenberg, on modeling wide range of industrial processes. I designed MoFEM, a unique finite element system that utilises emerging finite element technologies in industrial applications. MoFEM is developed to shorten the time between innovation and real-world application, providing the flexibility of research code while being tested and validated to comply with rigorous industrial standards.

Dr Christoph Naumann

I am a Product Director of Mesh-Oriented Solutions. I am a Mechanical Engineer working at the intersection of mechanics and software development, with a focus on end-to-end automation, high-performance design optimisation, and complex material physics. With more than a decade of industry experience, including leading an optimisation and automated engineering team at a global technology leader, I develop solutions where standard software reaches its limits. A key part of my work is turning advanced simulation and expert know-how into tools that are accessible to non-experts. This means building robust, automated engineering workflows that cover complete engineering processes from requirements to reliable, validated results, and finding pragmatic solutions for genuinely hard, industrial-scale problems. I specialise in efficient and robust optimisation methods as well as advanced material modelling, particularly nonlinear polymer behaviour. My work has significantly improved R&D efficiency and effectiveness. I hold various patents for products that far outperformed existing solutions. Furthermore, I have accelerated development speeds by reducing critical reporting from days to minutes and turning manual optimisation cycles that used to take weeks into fully automated overnight processes.

Prof Chris Pearce

I am a co-founder and Chair of the Board of Directors of Mesh-Oriented Solutions and Professor of Computational Mechanics at the University of Glasgow, where I am also Director of the Glasgow Computational Engineering Centre and currently Vice-principal for Research & Knowledge Exchange. I’m a Chartered Engineer and Fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers. I have a 30 years experience of computational engineering research, focusing on modelling complex material behaviour and multi-physics problems, and have applied these techniques to various fields, including Civil, Nuclear, Manufacturing, and Biomedical Engineering. I have an established track record of knowledge transfer and I have addressed critical, life-limiting structural integrity issues.

Prof Vihar Georgiev

I am a Professor of Nanoelectronics, the leader of the DeepNano Group at the University of Glasgow and an EPSRC UKRI Innovation Fellow. My group is part of Glasgow Computational Engineering Centre (GCEC). The aim of the group is to continue the research in modeling and simulations areas of electronic devices by combining not only analytical and numerical approaches but also machine learning and artificial intelligence methods. The DeepNano Group research activities are focused on the modelling and simulation of nanoscale devices for advanced optoelectronics, biosensors and quantum applications. I have more than 15 years of experience of developing numerical solvers and machine learning methods that are used for modelling and simulations of various semiconductor devices, such as nanowire transistors,tunnelling FETs, molecular flash memories and bio-sensors not only on IV and III-V semiconductor but also molecules, carbon nanotubes and Josephson’s junctions.
