Capella Days 2026 - Session #4

Cédric Brun is the CEO at Obeo.

Software engineer, Cédric Brun got involved in open-source projects quite early through contributions to KDE or the Linux Kernel, and then in the Eclipse community as a leader of several projects and member of the Architecture Council.

He likes to share his findings through conferences and happened to co-author a number of articles and research papers.

Enrico Soldà is an aerospace engineer with experience in safety-critical avionics, systems engineering and project management. He spent seven years at Leonardo working on the design, verification, validation and certification of flight control systems, and later contributed to complex international engineering projects. His current interests focus on AI, digital twins, robotics and cyber-physical systems, with a strong emphasis on their application to advanced engineering and MBSE.

Karl Clark is the founder and CEO of BIG Intelligence, an automotive engineering-AI company based in Detroit, Michigan. He spent twenty-nine years at Ford Motor Company, where he co-founded the Feature Organization, pioneered Cloud Assisted Diagnostics, and led a global diagnostics organisation of more than 85 engineers. He holds ten US patents across over-the-air update, connectivity and security, diagnostics, and blockchain. His current work is on governed AI for systems engineering: how a language model can accelerate the construction of an Arcadia model without ever being allowed to author it, and what evidence a safety assessor should be able to demand of any model an AI helped build.

Enrico Del Re is a physicist, researcher and systems engineer with a background in artificial intelligence, autonomous systems and systems engineering. He studied Physics and is currently pursuing a PhD focused on autonomous vehicles, with research interests spanning robust decision-making, safety and intelligent transportation systems. He has worked in systems engineering and has also contributed to the development of robust AI technologies. His current interests lie at the intersection of AI and Model-Based Systems Engineering, with a particular focus on using Capella to structure, analyze and communicate complex system architectures.

Michael Naderhirn is a mechatronics engineer, systems architect and entrepreneur with a background in robotics, control systems, autonomous systems and aviation. He holds a PhD in Mechatronics and has founded and contributed to technology companies in areas including radar, autonomous driving and flying, and neuromorphic computing. His recent work focuses on systems engineering and the development of safety-critical autonomous aircraft, including flight control, navigation, simulation, testing and certification-oriented development processes. He is the developer of EasySafe, an engineering framework integrating formal requirements, MBSE, AI-assisted system design, formal design and code verification, and human review. His current research focuses on combining AI with rigorous systems-engineering methods to make complex system development more automated while maintaining traceability and verifiability.

Anbarasu Mullainathan is a Digital Engineering specialist with close to 20 years of experience, including Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), CAD, MBSE and CAE applications. He is building AI + Digital Engineering solutions at DigitalThread.ai. He also serves as a PLM Solutions Architect at Applied Materials, where he focuses on implementing and managing cutting-edge tools and methodologies to enhance operational efficiency and streamline processes. He builds AI Agents and Workflow Orchestrations within the PLM domain to help accelerate the Hardware Product Development cycle.

Orlando Trejo is a multidisciplinary engineer with a background in mechanical, chemical, materials science, and systems engineering. He has worked with scientists in universities and national laboratories on research into solar energy harvesting materials, and with engineers in global companies to design materials engineering tools. Building on his experience in Information Technology, he has also helped lead digital engineering roadmaps integrating engineering disciplines and digital technologies. He is currently building AI + Digital Engineering solutions at DigitalThread.ai.
