Computational Modelling and Data Science
Computational Modelling and Data Science includes researchers developing physics-based simulation techniques such as FEA and CFD, and the new simulation techniques of Engineering Data Science and AI. Applications of these technologies can be found in bioengineering and in robotics and control. Researchers in this Theme also work collaboratively with those in other Themes on simulation, virtual design and development of digital twins.
