PhD student position on robust ocean observation sensors and robots
5 months ago
This PhD student position gives a unique opportunity to work in a large national research program with many actors within a wide range of segments. The research project will directly target real and pressing problems to create a sustainable Blue economy, exemplified in waters around Sweden to be used as a template in other areas world-wide. The specific tasks will use emerging technologies to create a fully automatic data chain, from water to public cloud interfaces, also adding sensor fusion and machine learning techniques. The position will be at the , in the , in collaboration with the : environments that everyday push research around vehicles, robots, automated data collection and analysis, and AI.
Project description
The research will target fully automated and robust data chains, from robots or observatories deployed in the oceans to publicly available cloud environments. The data will be enhanced using other existing data sources as well as machine learning methods. The research will be focused on robust embedded electronics and sensors to be used in rough ocean environments, with related mechanical engineering and design. If possible, bio-inspired methods will be employed to improve system endurance and self-maintenance.
This project is part of the . There are in total eleven project partners, with three funded PhD students. The research will be carried out within so called "living labs", looking at concepts such as "co-creation" and "multi-use".
Information about the division and the department
At the we conduct fundamental and applied research in areas such as safety, energy efficiency and material optimization of sustainable technology solutions. The is one of seven divisions at the department. Our focus is on engineering of systems with applications in vehicles and robots. The division has nine faculty members, 15 PhD students, and several post-docs, project assistants and affiliated researchers. The research group conducts research in a wide variety of topics, e.g. automated transportation (road, rail, and sea), mobile robots, and conversational AI, with interpretable AI as a common theme.
Major responsibilities
Your main responsibility will be to pursue research within the project. You are expected to implement, test, and extend existing scientific ideas and concepts as well as invent new ones, and to communicate the results of your research verbally and in writing at leading conferences and journals. You will be guided by senior researchers at the involved departments. The position also includes teaching on undergraduate and master's levels as well as supervising master's thesis students or performing other duties corresponding to 10-20 percent of working hours.
The PhD candidate is expected to actively communicate with other project partners, attend project meetings, and pursue tasks within areas where Chalmers is involved. The candidate is also expected to find possible research topics within the project tasks for the purpose of writing research papers.
