About the position

We have a vacancy for a postdoctoral researcher at Department of Marine Technology.

A postdoctoral researcher position is available at the Department of Marine Technology, NTNU. The Department of Marine Technology (IMT) is a world leader in education, research, and innovation for engineering systems in the marine environment. The Department of Marine Technology consists of two research groups: the Marine Systems research group and the Marine Structures research group. This position is within the Marine Systems research group with focus on Digital Twin development of marine vessels.

Digital Twin Development of R/V Gunnerus 

A key research question is: What is the most suitable architecture for a successful educational digital twin? This can be split in two parts: An education-driven perspective, starting from the pedagogical needs for input to marine technology discipline methods and models, and tracing this all the way back to specific sensor-based observations of vessel behaviour. A sensor-driven perspective, starting from the sensors installed on the vessel, analysing how these can provide valuable input to both new and existing digital models for improved insight in marine technology.

 

The position reports to Professor Bjørn Egil Asbjørnslett

Job abstractJV_description

• The main objective of this postdoctoral position is to develop a digital twin system of NTNUs research vessel R/V Gunnerus, for use in marine technology engineering discipline education and research.
• Other digital twin cases can also become relevant, and the work will be conducted in collaboration with postdoctoral and doctoral candidates in related research projects.
• Initially, the ICT part of digital twin solutions will be a central scope of work: Set-up digital infrastructure for sharing, communicating and storing historic and real-time sensor data, and system models, including; (i) define requirements for selection of cloud services (Google Cloud, Azure, Amazon) and maritime data platforms (Veracity, Kognifai), and (ii) support set-up of vessel-shore communication infrastructure (Kongsberg Maritime Broadband Radio).

• Secondly, development and use of simulation models for system insight: Develop, integrate, verify and validate simulation models of payload, control and ship systems for prediction of future system states, building on co-simulation methodology (FMI/FMU) and methods for advanced sensor data analytics, including physical models and machine learning.
