ASSESS Summit 2025

The NAFEMS ASSESS Initiative has one vision - to lead every aspect of engineering simulation toward a more valuable and accessible future in the medium to long term, leveraging the expertise and knowledge of top-level figures in industry, government, and academia.

To continue that journey, the 2025 ASSESS Summit will be held in Atlanta, Georgia, between March 10th and 12th. This won't be a traditional conference. It will be an opportunity for thought leaders to work as one to map out the future of engineering simulation and lead the way toward it.

The 2025 ASSESS Summit will bring together key leadership participants, including experts, industry analysts, software providers, researchers, simulation users, and others in the community of model-based analysis, simulation, and systems engineering.

The conference will be highly interactive, splitting into several theme workshops where participants will meet, discuss, and report to the main plenary.

Keynote Speaker

Dr. Carmen Torres-Sanchez – Multifunctional Materials Manufacturing Lab – Loughborough University

Carmen Torres-Sanchez PhD CEng FHEA MIMechE leads the Multifunctional Materials Manufacturing Lab at Loughborough University, England (UK). Her work sits at the interface of mechanical, chemical, bio-engineering, materials science and embedded intelligence. Her multidisciplinary lab works in the design, manufacture and validation (both in- and ex-silico) of structures and materials with coupled functionalities (e.g., structural and biological; acoustic and lightweight). Close collaboration with industry has seen her innovations applied in sectors such as Automotive, Food Technology and Medical devices.
