Ursula Mayer

I am a computational scientist, engineer and award-winning serial entrepreneur. Fascinated by almost any cutting-edge science & tech topic, I gained an in-depth education and expertise in Distributed Computing & Applied Mathematics as well as Interdisciplinary Collaboration & Leadership across various business domains. I strongly believe that if science & tech is developed with human beings and the environment in mind, it solves a lot of the burning issues we face currently as a society.

For this purpose, I founded Sciform to support clients from industry and academia with their AI & Big Data, Numerical Simulation & HPC as well as Quantum Computing projects. I am particularly dedicated to supporting our customers to achieve their goals with responsible AI.

Prior to Sciform, I had various positions in market-leading companies and renowned research institutions. My work was concerned with advancing numerical and artificial intelligence methods as well as large-scale software architectures across various domains including network security, OLED and solar cell simulations, multiphase flow simulations in environmental engineering, ion transport and fluid-structure interaction simulations for manufacturing, aerodynamic simulations. I co-founded my first company 4-dimensional GmbH in 2004. As a Managing Director and Chief Computational Scientist, I contributed numerical methods and simulation software for groundwater and contaminant transport applied in drinking water projects funded by the EU or the world bank in close collaboration with IfU, ETH Zürich.

I hold a MSc (hons) in Computational Science from TU München and a MSc ETH in Civil Engineering from ETH Zurich.
