Multiphysics Modeling in Watchmaking
Fine watchmaking continues to evolve through the combination of traditional craftsmanship and advanced multiphysics simulation. As horology moves toward ever-greater levels of mechanical precision and reliability, engineers must account for multiple physical effects at a miniature scale. In assemblies such as the minute repeater, such effects can include structural vibrations, electromagnetic interactions, thermal effects, and acoustic behavior — all occurring within extremely small and intricate components.
In this webinar, Prof. Roland Rozsnyo, researcher and lecturer in mathematics at HEPIA, will present how the COMSOL Multiphysics® software is used in horology, with a particular focus on the minute repeater.
Attendees will see how multiphysics modeling can help designers analyze coupled physical effects and predict dynamic behavior, as well as how it supports the design of high-precision watch components.

Guest Speakers
Dr. Ing. R. Rozsnyo is currently a lecturer in mathematics and an applied researcher in industrial numerical simulation at the Geneva Institute of Technology, Architecture and Landscape (HEPIA), part of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Western Switzerland (HES-SO). He obtained his engineering degree in physics and applied sciences from Télécom Physique Strasbourg, a French grande école, and his PhD in mathematics from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL).
Before his role at HEPIA, Dr. Rozsnyo worked at several companies as a development engineer in scientific computing and as a modeling and simulation engineer, notably in the field of watchmaking. His research interests include physical modeling, numerical simulation with the finite element method (FEM), numerical optimization, optimal control, and the application of artificial intelligence in the simulation process. For the past 15 years, he has regularly collaborated on applied research projects in the field of industrial simulation with many companies in the French-speaking Switzerland.
