Dec 13, LIVE Roundtable Discussion: Next-Gen Technologies for Today’s Engineers

Panelists for DE’s LIVE roundtable discussion on next-gen technologies: (Left to right) Jesse Blankenship, Frustum; Jean-Francois Chianetta, Augment; and Jerry Overton, CSC Research.

Augmented reality, virtual reality, digital twins, generative design, machine learning ... They sound futuristic and inconceivable, but many of them have already been deployed in manufacturing facilities. They’re not widespread; nor do they benefit from decades of trial and errors. Yet, they promise to transform design engineering and upend many traditional methods and workflows.

On Dec 13, in a LIVE roundtable discussion, DE editor Kenneth Wong will moderate a panel of experts to talk about:

• Topology optimization and generative design software that can suggest the best designs options;
• Virtual reality and augmented reality for professional use;
• Digital twins, machine learning, and AI.

DATE: Tuesday, December 13, 2016

TIME: 2:00 pm ET/ 11:00 am PT

Meet the Panel

Jean-François Chianetta, Cofounder, CEO, Augment

Mechanical engineer by training and computer geek for years, Chianetta started working on augmented reality in 2010 when it became clear that AR would become the next major trend in mobile computing. Augment is at the forefront of Augmented Reality for enterprise, allowing users to visualize any product in the real world in real time through their mobile devices. Backed by Salesforce Ventures, Augment lists Coca-Cola, Siemens, and Boeing among its clients.

Jesse Blankenship, CEO, Frustum

Jesse Blankenship is a consummate technologist and pioneer of functional generative design. His original research in design optimization at Columbia University and Cornell University lead him to the position of Senior Optimization Engineer at Autodesk Research. After his time at Autodesk, Jesse founded Frustum Inc. to realize his vision of an integrated design optimization platform for designers and engineers to break the mold of traditional CAD modeling paradigms.

Jerry Overton, Head of Advanced Analytics and Distinguished Engineer, CSC

Jerry Overton is the founder of CSC’s FutureTense initiative, which includes the Predictive Modeling Research Group, the Advanced Analytics Lab and the Predictive Modeling School.
