Case study
DT4MP — DigitalTwin-4-Multiphysics Lab
Research lab combining urban digital twins with industrial multi-physics simulation, powered by AI and machine learning.
DigitalTwin-4-Multiphysics Lab
The DT4MP Lab addresses both urban digital twins (UDZ) and industrial multi-physics twins, treating them as synergistic research areas. By combining real-time data streams with advanced multi-physics simulation and AI, the lab develops tools that improve urban quality of life and industrial production efficiency.
My role
I co-lead the DT4MP Lab, with responsibility for the urban digital twins pillar — in particular the OpenSKIZZE project on AI-assisted urban climate planning. DT4MP provides the broader research infrastructure and cross-institute collaborations that make this work possible.
Lab focus areas
- Urban digital twins — modelling urban infrastructure, green spaces, and climate for city planning
- Industrial multi-physics twins — optimising manufacturing processes and part quality through simulation
- AI + simulation — combining machine learning with physics-based CFD and FEM models
- Knowledge transfer — providing data analysis, virtual testing, and validation services to SMEs
Partners & funding
DT4MP is owned by the TREE institute at H-BRS; A2S is a partner institute. Founding partners include Fraunhofer SCAI, TREE, and the Dr. Reinold Hagen Stiftung.
