About Romain

Former mechanical engineer (MSc), I specialised in applied mathematics (PhD) — I help companies solve complex technical problems where simulation, computation, and engineering meet.

With several years of experience in numerical modelling and scientific software development — through both a PhD and my current postdoctoral research at the University of Basel — I work with engineering teams, R&D departments, and industrial partners to turn difficult technical challenges into practical, reliable solutions.

Whether it is developing custom numerical solvers, improving simulation workflows, accelerating legacy scientific code, analysing complex datasets, or integrating AI tools into engineering processes, I provide both strategic insight and hands-on execution.

Available for part-time consulting, technical collaborations, and high-value problem-solving assignments — on-site in the Greater Basel Area or fully remote.
