How VR, digital twins and AI can strengthen industrial training, process safety
On turning incident lessons, operating procedures and HAZOP findings into practical training for industrial teams, using VR, digital twins and AI.

Hello, I’m Amirsoleiman. I trained as an aerospace engineer and moved into process safety, working on hazard studies, risk assessment and consequence modelling. That work showed me how much depends on people understanding equipment they rarely see in full. Today I work on that problem at Techcopter, the company I founded in 2022, and in the articles and talks below.
Based in Kuala Lumpur. Outside Techcopter, I volunteer as Programme Director at Afghanistan Education Action, a UK education charity.
Topics have ranged from hazard analysis and digital twins to AI infrastructure and hybrid production.
Open a talk for photos and session details.
