🎙 About The Episode
This episode takes you on a journey with Simon Fischer, a physicist turned Senior Manager of Marketing at Simcenter Solutions, whose path spans building wind tunnels and running CFD simulations for Formula One engines to storytelling about Guinness bubbles, ice cream sauce patterns, and everyday products shaped by engineering.
In this conversation, recorded live at Realize Life 2025 in Amsterdam, Simon shares:
- How he moved from physics into fluid mechanics and CFD, and why - Vienna became a turning point.
- The excitement (and challenges) of supporting engine design teams, from automotive to Formula One.
- His transition from solving engineering problems to crafting stories in technical marketing.
- Why post-processing visuals, color choices, and storytelling matter as much as equations.
- Memorable stories, from Guinness foam simulations to strawberry sauce optimization.
- Lessons learned in bridging engineering with communication, and what skills engineers should master beyond technical detail.
If you’ve ever wondered how engineers become marketers without losing their technical edge, why visuals are the secret weapon in CFD, or what excites Simon most about the future of simulation, this episode is packed with insights, anecdotes, and inspiration!
