Dafydd completed his Master’s in Civil Engineering at the Technical University of Munich in 2022, specializing in Computational Engineering, Engineering Risk & Reliability, and Data Engineering & Analysis. He further deepened his expertise in computational engineering by participating in the honors track at the Bavarian Graduate School of Computational Engineering.
His research focuses on advancing the application of digital twins in the construction industry. His research focuses on the Probabilistic Digital Twin Framework for geotechnical design and construction. It is a novel approach that integrates uncertainties into the traditional digital twin model to enhance the accuracy of predictive models to improve decision-making.
