After two days of orientation activities at the University of Louisville, our 2026 cohort is now on its way to Hamburg, Germany, where they will spend six weeks conducting research on Digital Twin Technologies in Logistics and Supply Chain Management.
During the orientation, students met with faculty mentors Dr. Monica Gentili (PI), Dr. Faisal Aqlan, and Dr. Lihui Bai, and discussed research expectations, learned about intellectual property and research publications, and visited several research facilities at UofL, including the Louisville Automation & Robotics Research Institute (LARRI) and the Additive Manufacturing Institute of Science & Technology (AMIST). They also had the opportunity to experience a piece of Louisville's culture through a visit to the Kentucky Derby Museum.
In Hamburg, the students will work closely with Prof. Stefan Voร, Dr. Kai Brรผssau, and Dr. Robert Stahlbock, at the Institute of Information Systems (IWI), University of Hamburg, on research projects focused on Digital Twin applications in logistics and supply chain systems.
Safe travels to our students, and many thanks to all the faculty, staff, and partners at both institutions who are making this experience possible!
