Dr. Emmanuel Aghimien presented a paper at the Annual Modeling and Simulation Conference (ANNSIM) in Orlando, FL, May 5 to 7, organized by the Society for Modeling & Simulation International (SCS). This annual conference covers state-of-the-art developments in modeling and simulation in various disciplines, including the Symposium on Simulation for Architecture and Urban Design (SimAUD).

Dr. Aghimien presented "Simulation-Driven Xgboost Model for Multi-Output Building Facade Performance Prediction," co-authored with Prof. Ajla Aksamija. The paper discusses an ongoing research project that couples artificial intelligence (AI) techniques with building performance simulations for facade design analysis and optimization.
