    #3 Building the Future of Digital Engineering: Jürgen Krasser on Simulation Software, AI, and Platform Thinking

    AVL simulation software has evolved from standalone engineering tools into strategic platforms that now influence the development of complex products. In this episode of the AVL Simulation Podcast, we speak with Juergen Krasser, Head of Software Development at AVL Advanced Simulation Technologies. We discuss the evolution of simulation software, from its beginnings in engine development to today's cross-domain, AI-enabled platforms  With nearly three decades of experience, Juergen shares how AVL's simulation portfolio has grown into a unified platform, the importance of deep physics knowledge, and how customer feedback influences our software development. We also address the strategic role of consolidation through Simulation Desktop (SDT), the balance between innovation and limited resources, and the factors that matter most to engineers who use simulation software daily. Don't miss this glimpse into the future! How is AI already changing workflows in software development? How will conversational user interfaces change the way engineers interact with simulation tools? What skills will future software developers need to remain relevant in an increasingly complex engineering landscape? This is a must-see for engineering leaders, software developers, and decision-makers who want to understand how simulation software, AI, and platform thinking are shaping the future of digital engineering.

    #2: Hydrogen, Simulation, and High-Impact Teams – Emmanuella Sotiropoulou on Engineering the Future of ICE Fast

    In this episode, we speak with Emmanuella Sotiropoulou, Vice President of Prometheus Applied Technologies. From early engineering curiosity to leading a niche high-impact company, Emmanuella is driving innovation in hydrogen combustion. We explore how Prometheus transforms diesel engines into hydrogen engines using holistic combustion solutions – combining ignition systems, injection strategies, and advanced CFD methods. She shares her perspective on the evolving role of simulation: where its untapped potential lies, why mesh and chemical mechanisms remain bottlenecks, and how AI will accelerate predictability and speed in future development workflows. We also discuss team leadership in a specialized environment, including how small, strengths-based teams collaborate, learn, and stay ahead in a fast-moving industry. Finally, we hear a personal reflection on purpose, energy, and support, and how meaningful work and the right people around you can fuel long-term performance.
