Arpad Forberger

Arpad received his MSc in Mechanical Engineering from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME), focusing on applied mechanics. He started his PhD program, focusing on using and researching new material models for polymeric flows. He worked as part of a larger team calculating reactions in commercial tractors.

In recent years, Arpad has worked as an application engineer at Gamax Laboratory Solutions, focusing on enabling our partners to accelerate their innovation cycle in technical computing, model-based design, and multiphysics, including technical support of license configuration and product use, as well as the support of R&D projects in multiple sectors, including Automotive, Transport, Oil & Gas, and technical services. His knowledge is also an important asset in helping our partners in Education to adopt modern technical computing tools.
