Dr Karol Lewandowski
CEO
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. 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 CEO of Mesh-Oriented Solutions is to provide innovative and effective numerical solutions, ensuring they meet our clients’ diverse and demanding needs.
Dr Andrei Shvarts
CSO
As co-founder and CSO of Mesh-Oriented Solutions, I turn advanced simulation research into practical tools for industry. I am a core developer of MoFEM, focusing on automated workflows and scalable computing.
I am also a Lecturer at the University of Glasgow, where I lead simulation projects across mechanical, electrical and biomedical engineering with EDF Energy, Siemens and Freudenberg Group. My experience includes modelling fracture in nuclear reactor components, advanced material performance and electronic devices.
My PhD in Computational Mechanics at École des Mines de Paris, with Safran Tech, earned two national awards in France for work on lubrication and sealing applications.
Prof Łukasz Kaczmarczyk
CTO
I am a co-founder and CTO 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 modelling a wide range of industrial processes.
I designed MoFEM 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.
Prof Chris Pearce
Chair of the Board
I am a co-founder and Chair of the Board 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 30 years of experience in computational engineering research, focusing on modelling complex material behaviour and multi-physics problems, and have applied them to Civil, Nuclear, Manufacturing, and Biomedical Engineering. I have a track record of knowledge transfer and addressed critical, life-limiting structural integrity issues.
Scientific Advisers
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 the Glasgow Computational Engineering Centre (GCEC).
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 semiconductors but also molecules, carbon nanotubes and Josephson’s junctions.
