Simulations and Data Science — Never the Twain Shall Meet?

It is the age of data. In every field, data is being used to build predictive models. Will the science of physics simulations get supplanted by this trend? After all, a "simulation" is a predictive model of the behavior of physical objects. Can data modeling/machine learning/A.I. replace simulation technology in these goals?

In this keynote address, our CEO Udayan Kanade, will argue that the final outcome is likely to be more complex than these questions seem to indicate. Rather than being locked in an eternal battle for supremacy, data science and physics simulations will learn to form a novel symbiosis that relies on the diverse strengths of each field. What will this novel symbiosis look like? What changes will each field have to undergo before they can merge? What will the simulation and data science tools of the future look like? And what will the eventual benefit to engineers and to mankind be?
