Charles is an Industry Process Director at Dassault Systèmes SIMULIA, responsible for the worldwide industrialization of Industrial Equipment & Climate System simulation solutions.

After obtaining his PhD in Thermo-Acoustic Instabilities from Imperial College London, Charles joined Exa Corporation in Germany, where he worked on Aero-acoustics simulation topics for major German Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers. Following his move to Dassault Systèmes, he focused extensively on climate system applications across various physics domains worldwide and across industries.

This knowledge was later applied in a broader context, tackling heavy machinery and industrial equipment simulation-driven design, helping to harmonize product, nature, and life by revealing the world we live in with the Virtual Twin Experience. More recently, Charles has been concerned with sustainability topics and decarbonization. Initially focusing on the energy efficiency of building equipment and Data Centers, his team is now also exploring alternative energy sources and storage mediums, particularly with green hydrogen production and storage.
