About the position

We have a vacancy for a Professor/Associate Professor at Department of Marine Technology.  

The profile concerns in general physical modelling and control of marine systems, ocean structures, ships, and marine robots. With increasing digitalization of the maritime industry and ocean assets, the field also needs to expand and integrate towards maritime Internet of Things (IoT), networks and communication, cybersecurity, (Big) data analytics, artificial intelligence including machine learning, and marine autonomy. The position is especially established to strengthen the research activity on theoretical, numerical, and experimental methods in the framework of marine cybernetics with strong interaction between marine technology, control engineering, and computer science.

The position reports to the Head of Department, and will also be affiliated to the Centre of Excellence Autonomous Marine Operations and Systems (NTNU AMOS).

Work abstractJV_description

The vacant position has specific responsibility for teaching and supervising students and carrying out research in the areas relevant for the field of marine cybernetics, such as:

• Hydrodynamics with mathematical modelling of ships, oceans structures, and marine robots, including the ocean environment.
• Control system design based on methods from linear, nonlinear, hybrid, and optimal control and estimation theory, including stochastic systems theory.
• Design of intelligent autonomous marine systems using methods from optimization theory, stochastic filtering, reachability analysis, data analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
• Numerical simulation within a framework of using digital twins for design, testing/verification, and validation purposes of marine control systems, including marine autonomous systems.
• Experimental testing and validation in the hydrodynamic laboratories, as well as field campaigns.
