Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMasoud Najafi is a Senior Software Engineer with over 20 years of experience in modeling and simulation, currently at Siemens Digital Industries Software after a long tenure building the simulator core of Altair Twin Activate. He specializes in DAE/ODE numerical solvers, 0D/1D system simulation, FMI/FMU co-simulation and standards work—having contributed to FMI‑3.0 and SSP‑1.0/2.0. With a PhD in Modeling and Simulation from Université Paris-Est Créteil and early research/engineering roles at INRIA, he combines rigorous academic grounding with production-grade implementation. His background in embedded automotive diagnostics and Scicoslab development gives him a rare cross-domain fluency from low-level C/C++ real-time systems to high-level simulation frameworks. Colleagues rely on him for solver integration, standards interoperability, and making complex hybrid-dynamics models robust in multi-tool workflows.
