[Mei Tuson]

Who are you?  Hello, my  name is Mei. I am delighted to be here.I work for a social enterprise, Eluceo, set up to help individuals navigate the complex arena of education/lifelong learning into a fulfilling career. We also have a lifelong career road-mapping app, iShine®, that is developed to enable individuals to respond quickly in a rapidly changing careers landscape due to the emergence of new technology, AI and automation.

My role at Eluceo is director. However, from this September I am also working part-time on a digital twin (DT) research project, at King’s College, London.

What is your industry and profession? I am a systems engineer by profession but also have a strong business analysis background, with over 30 years of experience in major companies covering health, government and defence.

I have a degree in Biomedical Electronics and PhD in medical instrumentation.

Eluceo supports individuals from age 16 and beyond on career and skills development, and companies of all industries on upskilling and re-skilling. We have also started to provide technical consultancy.

Where do you plan to use your new Digital Twin Knowledge? Personally/professionally?

I think we are entering a very interesting time for engineering and technology. The advancement in AI, ML, robotics, IoT, VR, AR together with the emergence of new technologies/implementations such as blockchains, metaverse, web3, DT, etc., is changing the way we live and work. For this reason, personally in order to gain some hands-on experience on DT, I have embarked on a part-time research project at King’s College, London. The project is to research and implement DTs to support modelling of hospital systems.

Professionally I would like to stay with research on DT but also to help Small to Medium Size (SME) organisations with implementing their DT solutions.

In addition, I hope with the knowledge gained from the DT project I can convey my experience and understanding of the career opportunities, the skills associated with DTs to individuals, especially to the students that Eluceo works with.

Why have you decided to join the DTHub?  I think the Hub is an excellent place to learn about DT and to meet people working in similar area. The Hub has extensive resources and the toolkit provides very clear guidance on how to start the DT journey.

Have you participated in any of our meetups, or events? No, but I would like to be an active member of the Hub.

Do you have any examples of work that you have done using Digital Twins? No, as I am at the beginning stage of the DT research project.

Thank you!
