INVITED SPEAKERS

Tristan Meunier
Tristan Meunier is the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Quobly, where his job is to make sure that the company’s future quantum computer works. An accomplished experimental physicist internationally-known for his groundbreaking research on the coherent transport and manipulation of spins in quantum dot arrays, Tristan did his PhD at the Laboratoire Kastler Brossel (LKB) of the École Normale Supérieure (ENS) in Paris under the tutelage of Nobel Laureate Serge Haroche followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at TU Delft—a pioneering center for experimental research on spin qubits. This postdoc shaped Tristan’s vision of science as a means of advancing humanity. Following a European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant for his research on the coherent control of individual electron spins in semiconductor nanostructures and, later, a Synergy Grant with Maud Vinet and Silvano de Franceschi, Tristan led Grenoble’s quantum spin qubit community at the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) before joining Quobly as CTO full-time. He hopes to see quantum computing make a real difference in biotechnology and drug discovery

Emmanuel Leroux
Emmanuel Leroux is leading the EDA (Electronic Design Automation) strategy for the Simulation Brand (SIMULIA) at Dassault Systemes. His job, with his Team, is to propose R&D, Partnership to meet a 3Y/6Ytarget for Multi-domain / Multi-scale MODeling and SIMulation (MODSIM) in Electronics involving also manufacturing process simulation. His responsibility includes also more tactical steps and guidance of Go-To-Market and Marketing for the simulation of Semiconductors and PCB (Printed Circuit Boards). Emmanuel received his Ph.D in Electronics in 1998 at University of Lille in France working together with Politecnico di Torino in Italy. In 1994, he joined High Design Technology (Torino) as a PCB Signal Integrity Applications Engineer. In 2020 he joined Computer Simulation Technology (CST), first as Application Engineer (Darmstadt, Germany) and then opening the CST office in Italy. From 2005 he was CST Country Manager for the Southern East Mediterranean area. After the acquisition of CST by Dassault Systèmes in 2016, he led the multi-domain simulation technical/sales Team in that same area. In 2021, he joined Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS Team with the responsibility to launch the Electromagnetic simulation business within SOLIDWORKS resellers at Worldwide level. With his new position Emmanuel has the ambition to plug in EDA MODSIM into a PLM/MBSE/Generative AI framework.
