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

Ang-Xiao Fan, Finite Element Engineer, PhD

Ang-Xiao obtained her engineer diploma (Diplôme d’Ingénieur) in Mechanical Engineering and Development (Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Lyon, France) in 2013. Interested in application of mechanical methodology in solutions to biomedical problems, especially finite element method (FEM) via numeric modeling & simulation, she worked in parallel in her last year to receive a master degree in biomechanics. Continuing down this road, she gained a PhD degree with the dissertation on “geometrical and numeric modeling of facial mimics using FEM via MRI” in biomechanical engineering (Université de Technologie de Compiègne, France) in 2016.

Ang-Xiao joined Digital Orthopaedics as finite element engineer to contribute to the research and development of surgical simulation platform.
