About YouWol

The Genesis of YouWol

YouWol is based in France, and is the brain child of Dr. Frantz Maerten and Dr. Laurent Maerten. 
They sought to create a development environment for scientists that helps to build innovative applications at a minimum cost, with little to no programming knowledge.
By bringing together the latest advances in web technology and graphics, the YouWol Platform was created, a web-based integrated platform for everyone!

YouWol’s founders, Dr. Frantz Maerten and Dr. Laurent Maerten, graduated from Montpellier University (France) and Stanford University (USA). They have previously founded the IGEOSS Company and have worked for Schlumberger for 9 years. They have been extensively involved in the development of numerical techniques and tools for evaluating and modeling geological structures in complex structural and stratigraphic environments.

​

​

Between them they have amassed more than 15 patents and patent applications, they have presented at over 50 conferences, published over 30 peer reviewed papers, and completed over 40 comprehensive industry reports.
