When AI Meets Engineering Design

May 21, 2026

This AI & Scientific Computing SIG session explores how the two are converging to unlock new approaches to simulation, modeling, and data-driven discovery on modern heterogeneous computing platforms. Featuring a special presentation by Prof. Makoto Tsubokura of Kobe University and RIKEN, Japan, “When AI Meets Engineering Design: Constraining Its Creativity for Smarter Vehicle Aerodynamics Design,” the session dives into how AI can be applied to complex engineering challenges while maintaining practical constraints. Viewers will learn:

• How AI is being used in scientific and engineering workflows
• Real-world applications in vehicle aerodynamics design
• Key challenges and considerations when applying AI to engineering problems
• Emerging trends in AI-driven scientific frameworks and computing

The session also highlights perspectives from industry leaders and the broader community, with a focus on advancing collaboration between scientific R&D and developers.
