Machine learning and SIR epidemiological models applied to the analysis of the Italian Lockdown

How many people were involved in the covid-19 epidemic during the Italian Lockdown in Lombardy, Valle d'Aosta, Veneto and Emilia Romagna? 

How open data on infected and recovered individuals were biased by the limited extent in the use of medical swabs? 

How lockdown measures have influenced the spread of covid-19 epidemic in the above regions?

Virtual testing and digital twin models for Industry4.0 - PhD positions and industrial cooperations

Virtual testing is an established methodology in computational mechanics to accelerate the design of new materials and components. Nonetheless, there is plenty of room to transfer such methods in R&D departments of SMEs.

Recently, digital twin models come into play, and they are opening even more perspectives to incorporate computational mechanics and optimization towards the realization of digital models of real production lines. 

A recent demonstrator of those technologies has been recently realized in Italy, see:
