Who are you? I’m Robert, occasionally Bob, an engineer with several Patents from my time working in Shell USA.
What is your industry and profession? I work in the oil & gas industry, and have a wide range of R&D, Design and Operations experience. My first degree was Civil Engineering at Imperial College, and my second degree was probabilistic modelling for compliant offshore structures at The University of Glasgow. I ended up working in Technical Safety soon after the Piper Alpha disaster and have authored several complex studies and platform Safety Cases. For the past few years I’ve provided Systems Safety Engineering consulting support to O&G operators and service companies.
Where do you plan to use your new Digital Twin Knowledge? Personally/professionally? My company Berkeley & Imperial has been developing tools to perform virtual system simulation, software-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop testing. These models are networked and deployed across the internet. Our ultimate goal is to create full lifecycle Digital Twins.
Why have you decided to join the DTHub? As a company we are seeking learning, partners and consulting opportunities.
Have you participated in any of our meetups, or events? Not yet but will do soon.
Do you have any examples of work that you have done using Digital Twins? Yes – depending on how you define Digital Twin.
