Keynote Presenter – Day 2

Clément Coïc, PhD

Clément Coïc leads the Technology Cluster for Digital Mechatronics at Siemens Healthineers. He is responsible for building up a team of experts in digitalization, with a scope ranging from modeling and simulation and Scientific Machine Learning to Artificial Intelligence, and for initiating and leading technology projects that enhance the development of Siemens Healthineers’ mechatronic products and their digital capabilities.

This role builds on Clément’s past experience 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 degrees, from France and Spain, in Systems Engineering and Mechanical Engineering, and a PhD on model-based hydraulic actuation system design for helicopters.

Clément started using Modelica in 2008 and has not stopped since. In May 2026, he joined the Board of the Modelica Association, with the specific duty of advancing and shaping the future of the technology.

He also founded the Agentic Modeling Academy, AImodeling.club, a community that provides educational content and resources for professionals interested in agentic AI and modeling.

Clément is a happy husband and the father of two amazing boys, who make his life even more exciting than his work does.
