Our Team

Paul TAFOREL  Co-founder and CEO of MIMETICS  engineering

Graduated from the Mines Engineering School of Alès in civil engineering, Doctor of the University of Montpellier 2 in mechanical and civil engineering.

After being graduated as an engineer, P. Taforel started a PhD thesis in the mechanical and civil engineering laboratory (LMGC) in Montpellier. Having completed his PhD, he first worked on a postdoctorate for the SNCF and then worked on several research projects (ANR Monumentum, RioTinto Alcan) as a non-permanent staff member.

During all these years P. Taforel worked on Discrete Element Method and had been trained to numerical modelling on the software LMGC90 in particular. His background as an engineer lead him to conduct an applied research at the interface between academic research and engineering ; which is is exactly the positioning where MiMeTICS engineering aims to develop its activity.
