About the symposium

One research family, reunited every year.

The Reunion Symposium is a yearly meeting of lecturers and researchers who studied fixed point theory and optimization under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Poom Kumam at King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT). Each year, a member university hosts the event. In 2026, Bansomdejchaopraya Rajabhat University is the host.

This year we ask how a digital twin can move from a model on a screen to a real change in a community. We look at the mathematics behind it, how to teach it, and where it already works.

ReConnect 5.0 is a two-day academic symposium with talks, a panel, hands-on workshops and time to plan joint work. It is open to alumni of the network and to anyone who wants to use data and models for real communities.

Research × Education × Real-World Application

A digital twin is a live model of a real place, system or process. It is updated with data, so we can test ideas on the model before we act in the real world.

TRACK A · RESEARCH

The mathematics inside the twin

Models need sound theory. We share work on the methods that make a twin stable and useful.

  • Mathematical modeling and simulation
  • Optimization and decision models
  • Fixed point and iterative methods
TRACK B · EDUCATION

Teaching with twins

Students learn more when they can change a model and see the result. We look at ways to bring this into class.

  • Data-rich mathematics lessons
  • Simulation-based learning activities
  • Teacher training and curriculum
TRACK C · APPLICATION

From model to community

Twins of campuses, cities and public spaces can guide real decisions. We discuss cases and how to measure impact.

  • Campus and smart-city twins
  • Community and public-space projects
  • Measuring social impact
