Paul Fisette

Dr. Paul Fisette serves as Full Professor at the Ecole Polytechnique de Louvain (EPL), Université catholique de Louvain, where he has established himself as a leading expert in multibody dynamics and mechanical engineering. His academic journey began with a degree in Mechanical Engineering from UCLouvain in 1987, followed by his doctoral degree in 1994, earned while collaborating with railway company B.N. Eurorail. Since 1994, he has been developing groundbreaking research in multibody dynamics, symbolic programming, vehicle dynamics, biomechanics and multiphysics modeling as a research scientist with the Fonds National de la Recherche Scientifique. His contributions to the field include co-authoring more than 170 journal articles, conference papers and book chapters, while also developing the ROBOTRAN multibody software. As head of the Multibody Research Group in the Mechatronics, Electrical Energy and Dynamic Systems Division, he continues to advance the field through innovative research in multibody and multiphysics dynamics, particularly in applications related to railway systems, biomechanics, and keyboard instruments.
