This PhD position is about developing AI methods for reducing the time required for concept evaluation and tender preparation in marine engineering and ship design through rapid estimation, automated data transformation, knowledge graphs and AI-assisted design-space exploration. We are looking for a PhD candidate who wants to explore and develop AI-based methods for early-stage concept exploration in marine and ship design. The position will develop methods that make concept design faster and better informed: methods that generate and explore design concepts, estimate their performance quickly, and learn from full-scale data. The focus is on early-stage concept exploration and on methods that apply across marine vessels, from ships to uncrewed surface vessels (USVs). A case study will be linked to Fjordlab, part of the Norwegian Ocean Technology Center. Possible research directions include: AI-based design tools for generating and exploring marine design concepts. How to structure data for effective use in AI design tools. Study how designers and engineers use such tools, and how they affect companies. How full-scale data can drive new concept development. Are you motivated to take a step towards a doctorate and open up exciting career opportunities? As a PhD Candidate with us, you will work to achieve your doctorate, and at the same time gain valuable experience that qualifies you for a further career in higher education and research, in and outside academia. You will be part of a research environment with several related PhD positions in the Norwegian Maritime AI Centre at NTNU. Your immediate leader will be the Head of Department. About the project The PhD project will be part of the Norwegian Maritime AI Center that aims to accelerate operationalization of AI in the maritime value chains. The center shall position the maritime sector for accelerated and successful use of AI. The demand for safe and sustainable maritime activities, as well as the shortage...
