Learn how to leverage Wolfram Language as a strategic decision-making tool in the construction and operation of major scientific facilities through this 25-minute presentation by Dr. Westfahl, a 2025 Wolfram Innovator Award recipient. Discover practical applications of compact physics models that make project constraints explicit, expose critical trade-offs, and establish clear targets for team alignment during the development of Sirius—Brazil's fourth-generation synchrotron light source. Explore how computational modeling can guide instrument design and operations while managing tight time constraints, budget limitations, and risk factors inherent in large-scale scientific infrastructure projects. Gain insights into integrating physics-based decision frameworks with project management methodologies to successfully deliver complex scientific facilities.
