Federica Giuliani

Federica Giuliani holds a Master’s degree in Biomechanical Engineering, focused on biomechanics, obtained at the Polytechnic of Turin (Turin, Italy, 2012 – 2017). She also took part in an Erasmus + Course program at the Universitat de Barcelona (Barcelona, Spain, 2016 – 2017). She carried out her Master`s thesis at the BEAMS Department of the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB, Brussels, 2016 – 2017): using finite element analysis, she focused on the effects of deviations from an optimal alignment in a total knee prosthetic implant. During her university studies she worked as an intern at the Fornaca Clinic (Turin, Italy, 2015), and after graduation she worked for some months for SEA Vision srl (Pavia, Italy, 2018).

Sheng-Yi Ye

Sheng-Yi obtained his Master degree in Electromechanical Engineering at the Ecole Polytechnique de Louvain (Université Catholique de Louvain, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium 2011-2016) and showed an high interest in Multibody Simulation. Moreover, he recently defended his Master Thesis on Railway Vehicles Multibody Simulations in order to speed up their nominal speed. Since he is interested in medical applications, he also oriented his education in that way. As such, he had the opportunity to work with the University Clinics (Cliniques Universitaires Saint-Luc, Brussels, Belgium 2016-2017) on a knee’s kinematics measurement device and a skin thermal Finite Element Model.

Andrea Stenti

Andrea holds a Master’s degree in Aeronautical Engineering (Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, Italy) and a PhD in Mechanical Engineering (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium). He has ten years’ experience in the automotive industry as an acoustic and vibration simulation expert and project manager (Robert Bosch Produktie N.V. Tienen, Belgium; Robert Bosch GmbH, Bühlertal, Germany).

Andrea is specialized in developing models for product optimization and risk assessment, focusing on the structural dynamic simulation of complex assemblies involving severe non-linearities: material, geometrical and contact related.

Ang-Xiao Fan

Sheng-Yi obtained his Master’s degree in Electromechanical Engineering at the Ecole Polytechnique de Louvain (Université Catholique de Louvain, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium 2011 – 2016) and showed a great interest in multibody simulation. In fact, he recently defended his Master’s thesis on railway vehicle multibody simulations in order to accelerate the vehicle’s nominal speed. But as he is interested in medical applications, he also oriented his education in that direction. In this context, he had the opportunity to work with the University Clinics (Cliniques Universitaires Saint-Luc, Brussels, Belgium, 2016 – 2017) on a kinematics measurement device of the knee and a skin thermal finite element model.
