Abstract
The Digital Twin (DT) technology applications are still growing, and it is also the case of electronic devices where their electro-thermal analysis can be used as an example. The QDTs combine Digital Twin technology with High-Performance Quantum Computing (HPQC) to simulate complex physical systems with enhanced accuracy and speed. The synergy between quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and modern simulation techniques opens new opportunities for optimizing electronic components such as transistors, sensors, and memory devices. Emphasis is placed on emerging open-access infrastructures, the role of real-time measurement systems, and the implications of intellectual property in the quantum era. Practical examples and guidelines will be presented to support researchers and engineers exploring QDTs in electronics. Some practical examples and instructions for potential users will be presented, inspiring the audience to explore some largely available modern tools
Biography - Prof. Adam W. Skorek, Ph.D., Eng., FEIC, IEEE Life Fellow
Prof. Adam Waldemar Skorek, M’87, SM’90, F’09, LF’22, completed his Bachelor and Master of Electrical Engineering degrees at Białystok University of Technology (Poland) in 1980. He later earned his Doctor of Technical Sciences degree in Electrical Engineering from Warsaw University of Technology (Poland) in 1983, where he was a participant in the Doctoral Studies Program at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering. From 1983 to 1987, he served as a Visiting Lecturer at the Institute of Telecommunications in Oran (Algeria). In 1987, he joined the University of Quebec at Trois-Rivières (UQTR), where he is currently a Full Professor and Director of the Electro-Thermal Management Laboratory. He founded the UQTR’s Electro-Thermal Management Laboratory, following the success of both the NanoHeat Laboratory and the UQTR’s Industrial ElectroHeat Laboratory, which he also founded and directed since 1989. He teaches electrical engineering courses at the undergraduate, master's, and Ph.D. levels. His research, funded by NSERC, CFI, FRQNT, MITACS, and industry partners, has significantly contributed to the numerical analysis of electro-thermal phenomena, employing various techniques in electrical apparatus and electronic devices. He has published and co-authored over 150 papers, including numerous contributions on High Performance Computing applications in electro-thermal analysis, many of which are available on IEEE Xplore. Prof. Skorek has served as Chair of the Canadian Heads and Chairs of Electrical and Computer Engineering Departments. A dedicated IEEE volunteer for over 38 years, he has held roles such as IEEE Fellow Committee Member and IEEE Richard Harold Kaufmann Award Chair. As an IEEE Life Fellow and Fellow of the Engineering Institute of Canada, he is the recipient of the IEEE RAB/MGA Leadership Award and the IEEE Canada W.S. Read Outstanding Services Award. He is also an IEEE Electron Devices Society Distinguished Lecturer and received the IEEE Industry Applications Society Distinguished Service Award (2021). He has been honored with the King Charles III Coronation Medal (Canada, 2025) and the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal (Canada, 2012). Additionally, he received the Gold Cross of Merit (Canada, 2004) and the Knight's Cross of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland (Canada, 2015), both awarded by the Presidents of the Republic of Poland. In 2025, he was honored in Chicago, IL (USA), by receiving the Rooster Brotherhood Knightly Order of St. John Cantius.
