His keynote at BSE 2025 is entitled “Digital Twin Technology for Electric Propulsion in Software-Defined Electric Vehicles“

Abstract. Digital Twin technology is revolutionizing electric propulsion in Software-Defined Electric Vehicles (SDEVs) by enabling real-time simulation, optimization, and predictive maintenance. This presentation explores how Digital Twins create virtual replicas of propulsion systems, enhancing performance, efficiency, and reliability. By integrating AI, IoT, and cloud computing, these intelligent models support advanced control strategies, fault diagnostics, and energy management. The discussion highlights key benefits, challenges, and future trends, demonstrating how Digital Twin technology is shaping the next generation of smart, software-driven electric mobility.
