Chris Sideroff is a Principal Director and owner of Applied CCM Inc. with nearly two decades of hands-on expertise applying and developing commercial and open-source CFD/CAE tools for industrial fluid and thermodynamic problems. He combines deep algorithm and HPC knowledge with practical experience across R&D, technical sales, and deployment—having led pre/post-processing and IR heat-transfer software efforts and built an OpenFOAM-derived solver suite (Caelus) to make open-source CFD enterprise-ready. Based in Ottawa, he focuses on advancing industrial-scale simulation workflows while educating engineers on correct CFD application, and he brings a rare blend of academic rigor (PhD-level training) and field-tested systems engineering. An understated strength is his track record of translating niche research areas—like IR susceptibility and multiphase separation—into deployable software and services that improve client efficiency.
