About the position

We have a vacancy for a PhD at Department of Marine Technology

We have an open PhD position related to this topic:
Risk modelling of autonomous marine operations in the Arctic

 

 

The position reports to Professor Ingrid B. Utne, Department of Marine Technology, NTNU, Trondheim. E-mail: Ingrid.B.Utne (at) ntnu.no

Job abstractJV_description

• The Nansen Legacy is a large interdisciplinary Arctic research project running from 2018-2023 that will provide novel and holistic integrated scientific knowledge about the marine climate and ecosystem. The outcome of the project aims to facilitate sustainable management of the northern Barents Sea and the adjacent Arctic Basin throughout the 21st century.
• Developing and enabling technology for mapping and monitoring of harsh environments is crucial for sustainable utilization of the Barents Sea. The Arctic conditions require a high degree of autonomy and integrated observation systems to reduce operation time and weather dependency, and to enable reliable measurements in all seasons. The vacant PhD position is related to the research package Technology and method development. For more information, see: https://arvenetternansen.com/
• Numerous challenges related to safety and reliability exist during design and operation of observations systems, such as autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). Some examples are determining safe states of the system, failure tolerance of the system, and human operator - system interaction. In addition, integrated operations of several types of sensor platforms increase complexity and mission risk. The PhD project focuses on developing operational criteria and safe states for the observation systems based on online risk modeling.
