Read the chapter 'Developments of Technological Systems' in the book 'Advances in Digital Manufacturing Systems Technologies, Business Models, and Adoption'. PhD project: Hybrid data modeling involves blending the conventional mathematical modeling approach that defines the physics of the process alongside the latest technologies like deep learning methods. Blending the old and the new is exciting and I hope there are more use cases where this approach would be impactful. ------------------- Sathish Kasilingam is a versatile professional with expertise in Product Management, Machine Learning, Quality Assurance, and Computer Vision.
