1996: The Beginning
ThermoAnalytics is founded as an engineering services company developing thermal software for Ford Motor Company and the U.S. Army.
Early 2000s: Employee Owned
Transitioned into employee ownership (ESOP) and shifted strategic focus toward commercial software products.
Today: Driving the Future of Thermal Simulation
Our software helps engineers design better products through thermal simulation, fluid-flow analysis, human thermal comfort modeling, HVAC optimization, and EO/IR signature prediction.
Built on Innovation
ThermoAnalytics has its roots in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, where it was founded in 1996 by Keith Johnson and Al Curran following research at Michigan Technological University’s Keweenaw Research Center. Initially, the company focused on developing advanced thermal software and predictive models tailored for major clients like the US Army and the Ford Motor Company. To fuel its early growth, ThermoAnalytics relied heavily on government defense contracts and Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grants, which notably included contracts with the Air Force to pioneer early human thermal models.
Current Operations
Today, ThermoAnalytics is a 100% employee-owned global leader in high-fidelity thermal simulation and multi-physics software. Evolving far beyond its initial research origins, the company supports a worldwide client base in automotive, defense, and aerospace through its headquarters in Michigan and international offices in Europe and Asia-Pacific. By pairing global technical support with flagship platforms like TAITherm, MuSES, and CoTherm, ThermoAnalytics empowers engineering teams to solve complex transient heat transfer, infrared signature modeling, and human thermal comfort challenges while reducing physical prototyping.
Executive Team
ThermoAnalytics is steered by an experienced executive leadership team dedicated to driving its continued innovation and growth. The company is led by Bobbi Wood, who serves as CEO and President, alongside Cynthia Curry, the Chief Administrative Officer and Director of Human Resources. The executive lineup is further strengthened by Thomas Hogan as the Chief Marketing & Sales Officer and Shane Jacques as the Chief Financial Officer.
Our Mission: To innovate, develop, and deploy cutting-edge software solutions that empower engineers to master the complexities of thermal management and EO/IR signature management, accelerating the design of next-generation products.
