Welcome to Carry the Two, the podcast about how math and statistics impact the world around us from the Institute for Mathematical and Statistical Innovation. In this season of Carry the Two we are going to be examining how math and stats is helping scientists, engineers, and industry develop new and emerging technologies. This episode is all about Digital Twins. Hosts Sam Hansen and Sadie Witkowski are joined by Karen Willcox professor of aerospace engineering and engineering mechanics at the University of Texas at Austin, Director of the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences, and external faculty member at the Santa Fe Institute and Anna Michalak founding Director of the Climate and Resilience Hub at the Carnegie Institution for Science and professor at the Stanford-Door School of Sustainability.
