Digital Twins for Manufacturing Processes and Equipment

Assistant Professor of Digital Manufacturing at University College Dublin

Dublin, Ireland

About

I build digital twins that mirror manufacturing processes and equipment, combining physics-based simulation with live data so that operators and engineers can monitor, optimise and test changes before making them on the line.

What I can offer to a Doctoral Network:

  • Digital twin architectures linking simulation models to real process and sensor data

  • Virtual commissioning, what-if analysis and process optimisation

  • Model updating and calibration as processes and equipment evolve

  • Doctoral training that spans modelling, data engineering and industrial deployment

Ideal partners: groups working in advanced manufacturing, equipment and instrumentation, robotics and industrial IoT who want digital twins that are genuinely connected to their operations.
