JuliaHub is excited to announce the appointment of Brad Carman as our new Director of Consulting Services. Brad has over two decades of experience in model-based innovation and design. He brings with him a wealth of experience in modeling and simulation, and a deep understanding of the potential of modeling to tackle real-world product challenges, making him a valuable addition to JuliaHub’s team.

During his 15-year-long tenure at Instron and ITW, Brad was at the forefront of innovation, working on a diverse range of domains covering hydraulics, controls, heat transfer, vibrations, simulation, rigid body dynamics, and software. Most recently, he led the successful modeling and simulation of a hydraulic crash simulation system with JuliaSim and ModelingToolkit.jl, resulting in an optimal workflow with 500x speedup, cutting runtime from months to hours. The resultant configuration Catapult Light was not only simpler and cost-effective but also provided performance and precision only possible with a lower gain system.
