Join us for a Lunch & Learn session on Network Digital Twins (NDTs), a key enabler for future 5G/6G systems. The event will feature opening remarks by Prof. Kaddoum, followed by a talk by Lal Verda Cakir, a visiting PhD candidate from Edinburgh Napier University. The session will explore distributed NDT architectures, focusing on synchronisation challenges in large-scale, heterogeneous networks, and key trade-offs between accuracy, latency, and resource usage. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain insights from an award-winning researcher and connect with the community.
