From health-tracking wearables to smartphones and beyond, data collection and computer modeling have become a ubiquitous part of everyday life. Advancements in these areas have given birth to "digital twins," or virtual models that evolve alongside real-world data. Aerospace engineer Karen Willcox explores the incredible possibilities these syst...

Digital twins have the potential to enable safer and more efficient engineering systems, a greater understanding of the natural world around us, and better medical outcomes for all of us as individuals. Director of UT Austin's Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences, Karen Willcox, outlines the key role played by predictive mod...
