UCSD-NCKU Workshop on Infrastructure Digital Twins for Natural Disaster Protection

January 15-16, 2025

University of California San Diego (UCSD), La Jolla, California, USA

Overview

Natural disasters such as landslides and earthquakes have and continue to pose severe threats to human lives and critical infrastructure. Reliable assessment of the damages and mitigations for these hazards is essential to ensuring the continued safety of human living and working environments. The goal of this Workshop is to facilitate collaboration between researchers and students at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) of Taiwan for the development of research and technologies relevant to infrastructure digital twins for natural disaster protection, sharing research results, and identifying the emergent needs for the rapid advancement of this critical field of research.
