National Science Fund project № КП-06-Н97/11 “Exploring the possibilities of using artificial intelligence and simulation models to increase energy efficiency” with supervisor Prof. Dr. eng. Roumen Trifonov
The expected scientific outcomes include development of new mathematical and hybrid models; creation of a co-simulation framework integrating physical and behavioral processes; design and experimental validation of intelligent algorithms; and publication of the results in high-impact scientific journals, along with participation in major international conferences.
The project will strengthen scientific capacity, including the involvement of young researchers and PhD students, and will foster international collaboration.
The project is implemented in stages, with specific scientific activities and results planned for each stage.
The achieved results are analyzed in terms of their scientific and potential practical applicability, including opportunities for future research and development.
