Presentation
Bring Your Own Digital Twin
DescriptionThis session will bring together multiple practitioners in the field of Digital Twins and present live, running examples in a lightning format.
Abstract for Elisabeth Mayer's talk: Digital twins are powerful tools used across various scientific fields. One example is art history: By capturing models containing even small details from the the physical space, precise virtual replicas of a room can be used to create art historic digital twins. These digital twins can be used to recreate situations through simulations that would otherwise be impossible to achieve in the physical model. The digital twin in this presentation encompasses the great hall or Spiegelsaal in the castle Rheinsberg. The room measures approximately 12.5 x 11m with a ceiling height of between 5.0 and 5.5m. It has three large windows on the east and west sides, interspersed with full-length mirrors. The digital twin was captured via photogrammetry by Hess & Hindmarch (University of Bamberg) and reworked to capture the space of the physical model. The digital twin is used to explore the significance of light through simulations as well as spatial interactions through immersive analytics. Digital twins in art history can assist in the analysis, understanding, interpretation and conservation of historical spaces.

Abstract for Pieter van Schalkwyk's talk - From Static Twins to Smart Agents: The Evolution of Digital Twin Technology in EV Battery Assembly As the automotive industry seeks real-time adaptability, digital twins are evolving from static models to active, intelligent agents. These Multi-Agent Generative Systems (MAGS) bring advanced capabilities to EV battery assembly, enabling digital twins to monitor, learn, and optimize complex manufacturing processes autonomously.
Abstract for Dimitrios Rovas talk: Title: Building of the future: using digital building twins for data-smart operation As climate change and the need for resilient operations continue to drive innovation, digitalisation in energy efficiency is becoming pivotal. This presentation will explore the concept of a digital twin in high-performance building operations, detailing its applications, variations, and how it supports sustainability goals. Attendees will gain insight into digital twins designed for advanced operational efficiency, including examples where agent-based operation can surpass traditional building management systems. We’ll also dive into the technologies, especially semantic web frameworks and integrated data platforms, that enable the scale-up and effective delivery of digital twins, offering valuable perspectives on their construction and deployment.
Abstract for Anuj Kapadia : Abstract: Digital twins are transforming oncology by enabling patient-specific radiation treatments through precise simulations for personalized planning, real-time monitoring, and outcome prediction. At Oak Ridge National Laboratory, we developed a multiscale computational framework for radiation dosimetry and outcome prediction, integrating GEANT4, TOPAS-nBIO, CompuCell3D, and XCAT phantoms. Simulations were performed for external beam radiotherapy (gamma and proton beams) and radiopharmaceutical therapy (e.g., 18F and 225Ac), modeling effects from whole-body exposure to DNA damage and repair. This approach incorporates molecular interactions and biochemical pathways, enabling cell survival predictions in tumor and healthy tissues, advancing precision in cancer treatment.
