COSMOS@UCMerced Cluster "Digital Twins" (since summer 2026)
https://cosmos.ucmerced.edu/clusters/cluster-6-digital-twins-making-things-smarter
Why joining us?
Do you want to know how to make things "smarter" in this AI/ML/BD/CC/EC/IoT/CPS age? You need to learn what is and is not a digital twin and how to make digital twins systematically (for a given physical twin/asset/process)!
Same applies to yourself. To be a smarter you, you need "digital twins" to help you too. And we think you should start from here.
Try this prompt in Gemini "Why all high schoolers should be literate on "digital twins" if pursuing STEM?"
News:
- 12/1/2025. Digital Twin cluster was officially approved. Yes, we need Calculus-AB.
