PhD in Feature Toggles

This PhD focuses on measuring and improving (where needed) the assurance of Digital Twins (DTs)./nThe PhD will apply the principles of resilience engineering for DTs to bridge the gap between the as-planned and the as-executed process (e.g. engineering, manufacturing)./nThe focus is on how to increase the consistent and accurate representativeness of the DT over time given the dynamic behaviour of the component, product, or system./nAt Cranfield, the candidate will be based within the Manufacturing theme at the Centre for Digital Engineering and Manufacturing (CDEM)./nThe student will have access to high-end computers and digital technologies in the Centre for ontology-based and knowledge-based systems development, Digital twin development, advanced dynamic modelling and simulations, AI, VR, AR developments.
