From medicine to consumer product design, sport to culture and art, practical, real-world applications of ML/AI techniques combined with engineering design methodologies are expanding rapidly. And whilst physics-based Machine Learning approaches are starting to make their way into the engineering simulation processes, generative AI is already revolutionising our engineering activities.
To explore, highlight, and discuss these ground-breaking developments, NAFEMS, together with the Alan Turing Institute, is organising an exclusive workshop on March 11th 2025, in Coventry, UK. We will be engaging with a broad range of voices from the engineering and R&D communities in academic, industrial and software organisations.
This event is being jointly organised with The Alan Turing Institute and supported by SuperAIRE Initiative, STFC Hartree Centre and the Manufacturing Technology Centre.
