INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO

What if we could create digital twins of cities and test how different re-opening scenarios will affect the city's population and infrastructure systems? Using network science, machine learning, systems analysis and optimization, McMaster researchers have created CityDNA, a technology that can do just that. They recently received funding from McMaster's COVID-19 Fund to use this technology to inform McMaster's re-opening plans.


GUESTS:


Wael El-Dakhakhni, professor in civil engineering and the McMaster School of Computational Science and Engineering.

Zoe Li, assistant professor in civil engineering.


Interviewed by: John Preston
