Lectures on "Decision-making using Simulation" and "Digital Twins"
Next Monday 23 and Tuesday 24 October, Dr. Miguel Mújica, professor and researcher at the Aviation Academy of the University of Applied Sciences in Amsterdam in the Netherlands, will give two lectures at the Sabadell Campus of the UAB.
Dr. Miguel Mújica Mota is an associate Professor and senior researcher at the Aviation Academy of the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands. He had been the sub-director of the aviation studies at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. He holds a PhD and a MSc. in informatics from the Autonomous University of Barcelona and a PhD and MSc. in operations research from the National University of Mexico. He is the former president of EUROSIM (www.eurosim.info) the Federation of Simulation Societies in Europe and the Chair of the Dutch Benelux Simulation Society (www.DutchBSS.org). In recent years he funded the International Group on Aviation and Multimodal Transport with renewed Scientifics from different areas for coping with relevant international problems.
He has participated in several international projects for industry and research projects funded by the European Commission, World Bank or private industry. Dr. Mújica Mota has a very rich number of publications.

Talk 1: Decision-making using Simulation
The talk will focus on transport problems and how simulation can be used to tackle diverse problems that other techniques fail. During the talk I will present diverse examples of successful simulation projects aiming at inspiring the audience on the use of Simulation in combination with other techniques like Optimization, or data science techniques.
Date: October 23
Hours: from 09:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m
Place: UAB Campus Sabadell. Classroom 20
Talk 2: Digital Twins
The talk will present the different elements of the digital twins, how other elements can enhance its value like Optimization or ML techniques. We will discuss one of the fundamental questions on how to determine the level of granularity required in the simulation model that is at the heart of the DT among other aspects and flaws and benefits when the DT is applied for industrial decision-making.
Date: October 24
Hours: from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m
Place: UAB Campus Sabadell. Classroom 20
