Within this context, digital twin technology has emerged as a critical enabler, creating real-time virtual representations of physical assets for monitoring, analysis, and optimization. Computational intelligence plays a pivotal role in realizing the full potential of digital twins through data-driven approaches including surrogate modeling, machine learning algorithms, and physics-informed neural networks. These methods address key challenges such as real-time prediction requirements, high computational costs of traditional simulations, and the need for predictive maintenance capabilities. This presentation demonstrates practical applications of computational intelligence in digital twin frameworks through several industrial case studies: structural response predictions using graph neural networks, gearbox fault diagnosis through vibration signal analysis, bearing remaining useful life prediction, and automated turbine blade inspection using vision language models. These examples illustrate how computational intelligence transforms raw sensor data into actionable insights for predictive maintenance, quality control, and operational optimization. The integration of these technologies enables smart manufacturing systems that can anticipate failures, optimize performance, and make autonomous decisions, ultimately advancing the goals of Industry 4.0.

- 3:00 PM4hTennessee 11 Film ScreeningWhat's the Tennessee 11? The Tennessee 11 (T11) is a documentary that was produced by Builders (https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbuildersmovement.org%2F&data=05%7C02%7Cmarc.massicotte%40uconn.edu%7C685bef421baf444a8a8e08dd67a3763f%7C17f1a87e2a254eaab9df9d439034b080%7C0%7C0%7C638780673949203991%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=sNk6DonVoZLxEuFpiVY2PZjs5yaC5Xn55yWmp6P%2Bf9Y%3D&reserved=0) (formerly "Starts With Us"), an organization focused on facilitating civil dialogue around polarizing topics in America. The documentary follows 11 Tennesseans (that are ideologically diverse on this issue – and probably many others) as they work to find consensus on firearms policies or interventions. Builders convened the T11 after the Covenant School (https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tennessean.com%2Fstory%2Fnews%2Flocal%2F2023%2F03%2F31%2Finside-nashville-covenant-school-shooting-police-response%2F70061034007%2F&data=05%7C02%7Cmarc.massicotte%40uconn.edu%7C685bef421baf444a8a8e08dd67a3763f%7C17f1a87e2a254eaab9df9d439034b080%7C0%7C0%7C638780673949216546%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=mxlDD%2BGNjtkULpB6xHk6RljVPf7h4yRBwAeXPi4QPfU%3D&reserved=0) (in Nashville) shooting and (coincidentally) at the same time the Tennessee State Legislature was in session to debate potential new gun laws in Tennessee. The T11 were not direct victims of the Covenant School shooting, rather they are Tennesseans whose state was affected by tragedy. Like many Americans, some of them have other experiences with gun injury and those experiences certainly influence how they think about guns in America/ Tennessee.

- 4:30 PM2hClouds: A Discussion at the Intersection of Art, Science, and EngineeringThe panel will explore perspectives at the intersection of art, science, and engineering: What is the role of clouds and the turbulent atmosphere in art, science, and engineering? Clouds are always transient: How do we observe, analyze, and understand ephemerality? Clouds and their role in environmental change, from extreme weather to climate change impacts: what are opportunities and challenges in visual communication and public engagement? The panel is held in conjunction with the exhibition Clouds: A Collaboration with Fluid Dynamics. FREE. Everyone is welcome. RSVP appreciated.PanelistsAnn Fridlind is a Physical Scientist at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies. Dr. Fridlind's studies have concentrated at the intersection of detailed models and rich observational data sets to advance understanding of the clouds that are most relevant to Earth's climate. She has used a wide array of airborne in situ and ground-based and satellite remote-sensing data to study stratiform clouds from Arctic to Antarctic, tropical to mid-latitude deep convection, mid-latitude continental cumulus and synoptic cirrus, and subtropical stratocumulus. She is also a developer of cloud microphysics schemes in computational codes, such as NASA's ModelE3 climate model.Helen Glazer is a visual artist whose work bridges photography and three‑dimensional sculpture. Helen 's photography and sculpture made from 3D scans are profoundly influenced by scientific insights into the physical forces that shape ecological environments, including human activity. A 2015 participant in the National Science Foundation Antarctic Artists and Writers Program, her solo show of that project, "Walking in Antarctica" is currently touring US museums and galleries. She is working on a photographic landscape history of Kangerlussuaq, Greenland, focused on the impacts of a US Cold War air base and climate change.Miad Yazdani is a principal fellow at RTRC. Dr. Yazdani is responsible for leading strategic initiatives and defining technology roadmaps particularly pertinent to interfacial physics to ensure RTX's competitive advantage in key technological areas is preserved and expanded while having impact to business units' near-term and long-term technological objectives and requirements. Moderated by George Matheou, Associate Professor in the School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Manufacturing Engineering. Dr. Matheou's research focuses on computational fluid dynamics, leveraging theory, advanced algorithms, and data to study complex multi-physics fluid flows, with applications in weather forecasting and climate. Dr. Matheou is recognized for his innovative approaches to research and education, including integrating artistic expression to engage students.
