Experience

  • Founder and CEO at SimVantage
    Dec 2021 - Present · 4 yrs 7 mos

    We provide an easy, fast and accurate simulation software to simulate bioreactors. The software is based on physical first principles and is hence able to predict shear rates, kLa, ... before the reactor is built. We provide consulting for scale-up, scale-down, reactor characterization, design, and troubleshooting of reactors as well as a cloud-based version of the software.
