AI-powered immersive workbench prototype applied as part of CSIRO's (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) state of the art AI4Design pipeline."This will provide a unique window into complex design problems integrating diverse representations from combinations of computational simulation models, real world live experimental data and AI-driven generative design within an Intelligent Digital Twin (IDT) framework."Key features of our AI-powered immersive workbench prototype include embedded 3D simulation models, AI-driven analytical visualisations and intuitive interactions within a mixed reality environment; enabling complex data manipulation operations and insights in real time."It will enable seamless analysis, interaction and refinement of the optimal control parameters within the IDT, ultimately leading to more accurate and informed decision-making."Our results will have wide-reaching applications, significantly impacting on multiple scientific research domains, driving innovation and accelerating scientific discovery."Student: Danni LiuCourse: Doctor of Philosophy (Design), Department of Computing Technologies and and Department of
