Juris Vencels is a founder and engineering-focused entrepreneur with 12 years of experience building simulation software and delivering physics-driven R&D across startups, academia and national labs. As Co-Founder of TRAFOLO he leads operations and engineering to make 3D FEM-based magnetics and coupled thermal simulation affordable and practical for small teams, drawing on prior consulting work validating EM devices and prototyping induction systems. His background includes high-performance simulation development (code that ran on Scandinavia’s fastest supercomputer), plasma method work at Los Alamos, and an actively used EOF-Library coupling ElmerFEM with OpenFOAM that became a best-in-class MHD toolkit. Pragmatic about ROI and skeptical of vendor lock-in, he blends deep physics intuition with startup grit to ship useful tools that shorten design cycles and cut prototyping costs.
