Odense M
The Department of Technology and Innovation (ITI) at University of Southern Denmark (SDU) invites applications for a 2-year Postdoc position in Digital Ship Operations with an emphasis on Vessel Performance. The starting time is August 2020, or as soon as possible thereafter, and the job location is at Odense Denmark.
The successful candidate is expected to work actively in WP 1.2 of the national research and innovation platform ShippingLab (https://shippinglab.dk) and conduct application-oriented research with a team of industry partners in the deep-sea shipping sector. A key challenge of the shipping industry is to be able to monitor and improve vessel performance with the purpose of reducing fuel consumption and emissions of GHG gasses. Ship owners and operators as well as equipment vendors have in recent years invested intensively in digital technologies for vessel, hull, propeller and equipment performance monitoring as sensors, IOT devices, connectivity, data warehouses, cloud computing, business intelligence software etc. and are keen on reaping more business and economic benefits from those investments.
The research work planned for this position is to conduct big data analysis to identify operational and commercial potentials in vessel management, and develop/test models for improving energy-efficiency performance in close collaboration with a team of industry players (ship owners, operators, third-party specialist vendors etc.), in order to support the development of next-generation digital twin/AI models for vessel performance management. The related data include company datasets on vessel operations and publicly / commercially available datasets on ship positions, weather, wind, currents etc. (e.g. AIS, hindcast weather data, ocean currents etc.); modelling analysis work will involve deployment of statistical analysis, AI methods, Big Data computation and ship navigation / propulsion related theories. The aim is to identify root causes for vessel performance degradation over time and quantify the impacts of related factors, as basis for proposing relevant solutions for improvement in collaboration with industry partners.
This project supports the Industry 4.0 Laboratory Initiative at University of Southern Denmark, a long-term strategic initiative created to support research, teaching, and industrial collaboration and experimentation. The postdoc position(s) is primarily funded by ShippingLab (https://shippinglab.dk), and remaining funding may come from relevant research projects and/or department support through teaching activities.
