Summary
Nicolas Chavannes is a Director of Software and computational electromagnetics expert based in Zurich with over two decades of experience building and leading development of numerical simulation tools for bioelectromagnetics, antenna design, and RF dosimetry. He combines deep academic credentials (PhD, ETH Zurich) with hands-on software engineering in C/C++, Fortran, Java and Python, and practical high-performance implementations of FDTD, FEM and MoM methods. As a long-term leader at SPEAG and project lead at the IT'IS Foundation, he bridges research, product engineering and project acquisition to deliver validated multi-physics simulators and measurement workflows. Beyond core algorithms he has driven system-level integration, CAD/CAE interoperability, conformal/subgrid modeling and RF measurement practice, making him as comfortable in code as in labs and lectures. An uncommon strength is his blend of rigorous mathematical modeling with practical GUI, graphics and systems tooling that accelerates adoption of complex simulation technology.
