Manuel Guidon was born in 1979 in Chur, Switzerland.
Driven by a strong interest in quantum physics and computational science, he obtained a PhD in Physical Chemistry from the University of Zurich in 2010.
Manuel joined SPEAG in 2011 as a Senior Software Engineer within the SEMCAD X team, where he focused on the integration of MRI/MED algorithms and related applications into the SEMCAD X platform.
Starting in 2012, Manuel worked at ZMT Zurich MedTech AG, concentrating on numerical simulations, networking technologies, and high-performance computing (HPC) methods within the Sim4Life project. During this time, he was also involved in the development of robotic control software for measurement systems.
In October 2017, Manuel transferred to the IT'IS Foundation, where he worked as a full-stack developer for the o2S2PARC project (Open Online Simulations for Stimulating Peripheral Activity for Relieve Conditions).
Manuel is currently the main technical responsible for the cloud-based Sim4Life platform, focusing on the migration of the Sim4Life kernel and user interface to cloud infrastructure and web technologies.
