Karim Segond

Karim Segond was born in 1973 in Toulouse, France. He obtained the Diplom-Ingenieur in mechanical engineering from the Technical University of Berlin in 2000. During his studies, he worked at Siemens Large Drives in Berlin on the 3D thermal and flow calculations for a synchronous motor with turbo rotor.

He moved in 2000 to Switzerland to work as an aerodynamics engineer on the development of new low-pressure steam turbines at Alstom Power in Baden. He worked. In 2007 he changed to power plant construction, where he worked in the office in Baden as well as on combined cycle power plant construction sites in England.

Since 2011 Karim has been working as a freelance consulting engineer for cooling calculations of Electrical Machines, Power Electronics, and Electronics. He works from his office in Berlin or at the customer’s. He benchmarked the different CFD tools and he preferred to work with software based on a cartesian mesh like FloEFD, FloTHERM, or Solidworks Flow Simulation.
