About Synascale
From researcher to founder.
Dr. Michael Blank
Founder & Software Development
Dr. Michael Blank holds a PhD (summa cum laude) in chemical and biological engineering from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. He spent 9+ years developing particle-based simulation methods for manufacturing processes. Synascale is the direct result of that research: a simulation engine built from the ground up, not assembled from off-the-shelf components.
“I built Synascale because I saw engineers experimenting for months, even though simulations can deliver the answer in hours.”
