Virtual experiments and digital twins are developed, implemented and applied in various applications, such as advanced manufacturing processes as well as medicine. In metrology, they can be used to examine the accuracy of measuring equipment, to specify the required tolerances of machines, and to identify significant sources of uncertainty. The aim of the dissertation is to study and develop methods for evaluating the uncertainty associated with real measurements using the results of virtual experiments. These approaches include methods and statistical procedures for evaluating the differences between the measurements of calibrated standards and the corresponding data from their virtual counterpart. The development of methods should be in line with current standards for the assessment of metrology uncertainty. Prerequisites for a successful solution of the dissertation are basic knowledge in the field of metrology, probability and statistics and programming in the Matlab environment. The dissertation will be solved at the Institute of Measurement Science of the Slovak Academy of Sciences in Bratislava.
