Summary
Miguel Jordana is an R&D engineer who blends physics, structural mechanics and pragmatic software development to deliver computational tools for industry-scale problems, currently leading the R&D team for Siemens EDEM. Over 14+ years he has designed and implemented particle- and free-surface-flow codes (PFEM, DEM) and contributed core modules for CFD, CSM and electromagnetics, bringing research-grade methods into production. He has a long academic track record as an associate professor in finite elements and structural mechanics and holds a doctorate in structural analysis, which informs his rigorous approach to modeling and validation. Skilled in C++ and Python, he emphasizes practical value and reproducibility, treating software as the primary enabler of engineering solutions. A practical polyglot between research and industry, he often moves ideas from niche research projects—harbours, landslides, drilling—to robust commercial products.
