Florian Bernard is a CEO and founder with 9 years of experience translating advanced fluid dynamics and applied mathematics research into practical medical software for vascular surgery decision support. He built Nurea to automate surgeons’ image-based workflows, improving speed and diagnostic information to enable better patient care. His background includes PhD-level research in fluid dynamics and applied mathematics and research-engineering roles at Inria and Politecnico di Torino, where he developed implicit schemes and multi-physics solvers for challenging flow and deformation problems. That combination of deep numerical methods expertise and product leadership gives him a rare ability to bridge rigorous modeling with usable clinical tools. Based in Toulouse, he’s as comfortable optimizing high-performance simulation code as he is steering a healthcare software startup. An often-overlooked strength is his track record of turning complex academic algorithms into robust, deployable libraries used in both research and industrial contexts.
