Aerospace Design in the Age of Big Data and Big Compute 19 January 2021 1000 - 1100

From data analytics and machine learning to digital twins, aerospace design is becoming increasingly data centric. Yet in our excitement to define a new generation of data-centric approaches, we must be careful not to chart our course based entirely on the successes of data science and machine learning in the lucrative but vastly different domains of social media, online entertainment, online retail, image recognition, machine translation, and natural language processing — domains for which data are plentiful and physics-based models do not exist.
