Background: Christian Bertsch studied Mathematics and Physics at Heidelberg University

Head of Software and Simulation Technologies at TLK-Thermo. PhD in thermodynamics. 15+ years of experience in software development, modeling and system simulation.

Clément is leading the Technology Cluster for Digital Mechatronics at Siemens Healthineers. He is responsible for building up a team of experts in digitalization - where the scope ranges from modeling and simulation, Scientific Machine Learning, to Artificial Intelligence -, and triggering and leading technological projects to enhance the development of Siemens Healthineers mechatronic products and their digital capabilities. This role leverages the past experiences of Clément as a Team Lead and Model-based Development expert at Modelon and at other industry leaders such as Airbus Helicopters and Dassault Systèmes. Clément holds two MSc - in France and Spain - in System Engineering and Mechanical Engineering, and a PhD on model-based hydraulic actuation system design for helicopters.
Clément started leveraging Modelica in 2008 and has not stopped since then. He joined in May 2026 the Boad of the Modelica association, with the specific duty to advance and shape the future of the technology.
Clément is a happy husband and father of two amazing boys - who are making his life even more exciting than his work.

Michele Bolognese is a researcher at the HyRES Unit of the Center for Sustainable Energy, Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK), Trento, Italy, where he leads the dynamic system modelling activity. His research is centred on physics-based dynamic modelling of hydrogen energy systems in the Modelica language, covering low- and high-temperature electrolysis (alkaline, PEM and solid oxide), reversible solid oxide systems, metal hydride hydrogen storage, and syngas purification by pressure and temperature swing adsorption. His work addresses balance-of-plant design, control strategy development and the assessment of transient operation under variable renewable supply. He has contributed to several European projects, including INSHIP, SWITCH, HYCARE, AMON, PROMETEO, REMEDHYS and CLEANER, and to national initiatives such as COMESTO, in which power electronics for multiple storage technologies were modelled in Ansys Simplorer. In 2022 he received the Young Scientist Award in the hydrogen production category from Hydrogen Europe Research. Since 2026 he has been a member of the international Modelica Association
