Abstract

Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) are an emerging approach that combines deep learning with fundamental physical laws. By constraining neural networks with our domain knowledge, PINNs can produce solutions that are more consistent with known physics and often more accurate and reliable than purely data-driven models.

The session will cover the core concepts behind PINNs and demonstrate how to implement them in MATLAB.

Finally, low-code approaches and GenAI coding assistance are explored to speed up the development process.

Who Should Attend
