Geller Lecture: Medical Digital Twins: Mathematics for 21st Century Medicine

Date: April 12, 2022

Time: 5:30PM - 7:30PM

Location: Bloc 117

Speaker: Reinhard Laubenbacher, University of Florida

Description: A digital twin in industry is a computational model customized to a particular piece of machinery, such as a wind turbine or an organizational structure, such an entire factory. Continually fed with streaming operational data, it is used for all manner of forecasting, optimization, and control. Even though humans are infinitely more complex than industrial machinery, one can make a clear analogy in medicine. This talk will present examples of what might be considered medical digital twins and will explore the many challenges and opportunities that this paradigm of personalized computational models presents, ranging from the mathematical and computational to the biological, medical, ethical, and political.
