UNSW Public Lecture: Willcox -- Digital Twins and their Applications Across Engineering, Science & Medicine

- A public lecture by Professor Karen E. Willcox -


Digital Twins and their Applications Across Engineering, Science & Medicine

 

Thursday 6 June, 5.30pm

Join us for this public lecture at UNSW by Karen E. Willcox, our 2024 UNSW Women in 
Mathematics and Statistics Ambassador.

Could you imagine one day having a dynamically evolving virtual replica of yourself 
that your doctor could use to drive personalized decisions to optimize your health 
and well-being?

In engineering, these personalized dynamic computational models are known as digital 
twins, and are already being used to drive predictive maintenance decisions for 
aircraft and aircraft engines.

This talk will discuss the mathematics and computational science that goes into 
creating a digital twin, and will discuss exciting new directions for digital twins 
in engineering, geosciences and medicine.

Karen E. Willcox is Director of the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and 
Sciences, Associate Vice President for Research, and Professor of Aerospace Engineering 
and Engineering Mechanics at the University of Texas at Austin. Full speaker bio &
