The practical question
Recovery choices involve competing demands on energy, yield, quality and cost. A model can help choose the next experiment when its assumptions and limits are explicit.
The research approach
The roadmap connects measured inputs to process models, scenario comparisons and experimental feedback. A future digital twin would need a defined physical system, calibration data, update rules and independent validation.
Who would use it
For researchers and process teams: a more focused experimental plan and a visible account of where predictions remain uncertain.
Research to date
Conceptual and model-based investigation, including virtual simulation and testing, informed the feasibility work. Seed-supported development expanded the modeling work. Subsequent digital-twin and process research plans connect sensing, recovery, materials and manufacturing questions.
The next validation gate
Define one modeled process, document its inputs and boundary, calibrate with measured data, and test predictions against a separate experiment before using it to guide operations.

Contribute process knowledge, measured data or independent validation for one bounded model.
