3月18日，我院荣幸邀请到了剑桥大学工程系的Ioannis Brilakis教授，为我们作了题为《建成环境的数字孪生》的学术报告，来自东南大学仪器科学与工程学院的数位老师和同学们聆听了Brilakis教授的精彩演讲。
报告主要分为两部分，第一部分涵盖了数字孪生在建成环境中的定义和在各个阶段的应用价值，第二部分Brilakis教授介绍了其课题组现阶段在数字孪生方向的科研项目成果、以及在业界的实践。首先，Brilakis教授详细介绍了数字孪生在建成环境中的基本概念、意义、构建过程等。具体来说，就是通过对物理世界的实时监测，将所收集到的数据进行解释分析，转化为可用于指导决策和行动的信息和指示。构建数字孪生的好处在于能够提高自动化程度以管理日益增加的资产复杂性，并且能够将建筑全生命周期的数据及过程在统一平台集成。构建数字孪生的核心价值在于能够更好地、更快地辅助决策。之后，Brilakis教授分享了其研究课题组在数字孪生构建的各个阶段的研究成果。主要成果包括数字孪生构建过程中基于点云的快速、低成本的复杂建筑扫描和模型生成，基于图像识别方法的BIM模型生成、建筑构件智能识别；还包括数字孪生应用过程中对设计阶段桥梁数字孪生的过程模拟和决策辅助，对建成环境中公路基础设施的损坏识别。Brilakis教授还简要介绍了其课题组承担的英国及欧盟的重大项目。最后，Brilakis教授强调了构建数字孪生的重要意义，并提出了未来可能的发展方向和前景。
Brilakis教授以严谨认真的学术态度和幽默风趣的语言为我院师生带来了精彩的报告。在报告期间，Brilakis教授与在场师生针对报告中的重要研究议题，包括数字孪生、三维重建、桥梁监测等多个关键问题进行了热烈讨论与互动。报告启发了同学们对数字孪生领域的研究兴趣，并强调了科研中创新的重要性。最后，Brilakis教授还强调了数字孪生标准、应用的实际价值、数字孪生在中国的发展潜力等。
报告结束后，仪科学院的刘澄玉教授代表学院对Ioannis Brilakis教授的到来表示热烈欢迎。本次报告加深了师生对数字孪生技术的认识，有力地促进了东南大学师生、其他院校及行业顶尖专家之间的交流。
本次学术交流活动由刘澄玉老师主持。
