Modelling and Simulation

About Modelling and Simulation

Modelling and Simulation uses physical and logical representations of real world systems to generate data used for making predictions and help make decisions about the real world. Our research encompasses multidisciplinary approaches investigating how modelling and simulation can be supported and advanced through research and collaborations with industry and other organisations.
