From Deep Uncertainty to Enlightened Decisions: Where Data, Physics, and AI Meet to Shape the Dynamics of Territories
Romain Chassagne, chercheur en modélisation numérique et géostatisticien, BRGM
| Urban territories operate as "systems of systems" where deep geological layers, infrastructure, and human activity interact across multiple scales. Managing these environments is a significant challenge due to fragmented data and coupled multiphysics processes. This talk examines the merging of physics-based modeling, AI, and HPC in creating "living" digital twins capable of navigating uncertainties. A core focus is the subsurface, a domain where data scarcity and physical complexity create unique computational hurdles. To anchor the discussion in real-world constraints, practical applications will be explained and their challenges discussed, spanning the entire pipeline from data acquisition and robust infrastructure to high-fidelity modelling and actionable dashboards for decision-makers. Such digital twinning technology offers critical decision support in navigating the forthcoming challenges of our urban environments. |

Biographie : Romain Chassagne holds a background in applied mathematics. After holding various academic and industrial positions abroad, he joined the French Geological Survey (BRGM), where he is currently the lead for the Digital Twin program. Alongside his responsibilities at BRGM, he teaches this subject at the University of Orléans and ESTP. His expertise focuses on data fusion and integration for system prediction, applied to geosciences and, more specifically, the subsurface. Romain has contributed to numerous international and transdisciplinary research projects, both academic and industrial, covering diverse topics such as geophysical reservoir characterisation, geothermal energy, CO2 storage, hydrogeology, and critical raw materials. His work focus on developing methodologies and computational tools for operational decision support in contexts of high uncertainty. |
