For this podcast episode, EP&T sits down with Abby Rampal, founder and CEO of solid-state AI in Toronto. He will share his thoughts on why artificial intelligence alone may not be enough for engineering the physical world. Rampal will introduce Physics Enhanced Digital Twins (PeDT)—a next-generation approach that embeds the laws of physics directly into AI models.

This isn’t incremental improvement—it’s a fundamental shift. By grounding AI in physical reality, engineers can:

• Build systems that are not just intelligent—but trustworthy
• Eliminate costly design errors before they happen
• Unlock new levels of optimization in semiconductor and hardware design

This would enable more reliable semiconductor and hardware design, while helping engineers avoid costly mistakes before they occur.
