The SUBLIME consortium is pleased to announce the successful defence of the Engineering Doctorate (EngD) project by Ali Sabzi Khoshraftar, who presented his work on the development and evaluation of predictive digital twins for steel bridge assessment and maintenance. Ali carried out his EngD research within the Pervasive Systems (PS) Research Group at the University of Twente, chaired by Dr. Özlem Durmaz-Incel, under the supervision of Prof.dr.ir. Maarten van Steen, Dr.ir. Berend Jan van der Zwaag, and Dr. Le Viet Duc.
Ali’s EngD project contributes to the SUBLIME ambition of improving the sustainability, reliability, and lifespan of steel infrastructures. His work focused on designing a predictive digital twin architecture that integrates structural health monitoring, artificial intelligence, and extended reality technologies to support more efficient bridge assessment and maintenance processes.
