PhD in engineering

The PhD research project is part of the Norwegian Maritime AI Centre led by NTNU. The objective is to use machine learning methods to find models of ship trajectories and traffic patterns that can be used to detect anomalies and predict into the future using large historical AIS data and other data sources such as weather, navigation charts and databases over ships, cargo, harbors. The work can be combined with real-time satellite-based AIS data and sensors such as radar and algorithms for anomaly detection, risk analysis and autonomous navigation to support maritime situational awareness, security, safety and logistics. The PhD candidate will be supervised by Professor Tor Arne Johansen and will interact with other PhD candidates, researchers, companies and governmental agencies in the centre. Location: Trondheim, Norway.
