Julien Sigüenza

Julien Sigüenza has a diverse work experience in the field of biomechanics and medical research. Julien started their career as a Research Assistant at Horiba Medical in 2012, where they focused on feasibility studies and computer simulations for a new blood analyzer system. In 2013, they joined IRRAs Technology as a Technical Consultant, performing computer simulations for flow-diverter endovascular deployments. Concurrently, they also worked as a Research Assistant at Horiba Medical, conducting research on the mechanical modeling of the red blood cell membrane.

In 2013, Julien began their Ph.D. candidacy at the Université de Montpellier, where they were involved in the YALES2BIO project. As a team member, they played a vital role in developing a computational code for analyzing medical devices in contact with blood, with a focus on fluid-structure interaction modeling. Julien specialized in modeling the dynamics of red blood cells and the interaction of heart valves with blood flow.

After completing their Ph.D., Julien joined Sim&Cure as an R&D Engineer in 2016. Their work primarily revolved around the mechanical modeling of endovascular prostheses for the treatment of cerebral aneurysms. Julien played a crucial role in prototyping and validating simulation models and deploying medical device software in hospitals worldwide. Due to the company's growth, they were later promoted to R&D Manager for the biomechanics research division and, most recently, to the position of R&D Senior Manager - Biomechanics.

Overall, Julien Sigüenza's professional journey has been marked by their expertise in biomechanics, computational modeling, and medical device analysis.

From 2010 to 2013, Julien Sigüenza attended Polytech Montpellier, where they obtained an Engineering degree (MSc) in Mechanical Engineering. Julien then pursued further education at the University of Montpellier from 2013 to 2016, obtaining a Doctor of Philosophy degree (Ph.D) in Mathematics and Modeling.
