Research Topic 4
In the pursuit of innovation and advancement, Research Topic 4 (RT4) endeavors to pioneer the realm of applications of Digital Twins (DTs) in various fields: from harbor management to custom healthcare, from urban planning to environmental monitoring. With dedicated efforts from its partners, RT4 aims to conceptualize, develop, and deploy demonstrative applications that redefine the boundaries of digital replication. By leveraging advanced computational techniques, digital replicas achieve unprecedented simulation quickness, and hence address real-world challenges with remarkable efficiency. Think about a field in which time plays a crucial role—e.g. medicine. Traditional simulations of physiological processes, such as modeling the human heart and circulatory system, often necessitate weeks of computational effort on high-performance supercomputers. However, with the integration of MOR and DT technologies, this arduous timeframe is condensed to a matter of hours.
The contributions of RT4 bridge the gap between research and application, with the potential to revolutionize many crucial sectors for the Italian Northeastern region. Its mission resonates with the broader objectives of the iNEST Consortium: by converging with other research activities and embracing emerging technologies, RT4 is poised to unlock new frontiers of technological synergy, fostering a future in which DTs play a central role in driving sustainable development and societal well-being.
