Jean-Marc DEDULLE
Head of Electromagnetism Modeling Dept.
Jean-Marc is an Associate Professor at Grenoble INP in Phelma, laboratory LMGP. He works part-time for SIMTEC. During his PhD in 1989, he worked on anisotropic effects and on saturation in 3D in magnetic transformer circuits. He continues to improve upon his numerical expertise through his various professional experiences (R&D Engineer at DT2I, founder and owner/manager of IRIS TECHNOLOGIES…). After SIMTEC bought IRIS TECHNOLOGIES, Jean-Marc joined us bringing his expertise in electromagnetism and electrotechnics.

Jean-David WHEELER
Head of App Dept.
During his mechanical engineering studies at the INSA de Lyon, Jean-David contributed to the development of a multi-scale modeling method. After this, he studied thermal and rheological effects in lubricated contacts from a numerical and experimental point of view. It is for this work that he obtained his PhD in Mechanics. Then he joined SIMTEC and now develops numerical models which include Heat Transfers and Electromagnetism. Jean-David is an expert in developing apps that enable users to make the most of high-tech numerical models in a short space of time.
