Ammar Bin Zulqarnain is a Graduate Research Assistant at Scope Lab working on planning algorithms and digital twin technologies for emergency response systems. His research creates virtual replicas of real-world emergency systems that enable testing, optimization, and training before deploying changes to live operations.
Digital twins offer unique advantages for emergency response where live experimentation is not feasible. Ammar’s work develops the models, simulations, and optimization techniques that allow emergency management agencies to explore different strategies and improve response procedures through virtual testing and analysis.
