PhD in Cognitive Digital Twin of Naval Operators

This doctoral position focuses on the design of a cognitive digital twin for naval operators, involving professional knowledge modeling, cognitive load assessment, and the evaluation of artificial intelligence-based assistance. The researcher will work within the field of computer sciences in the Grand Est region of France. The project aims to understand and simulate operator behavior and mental workload in complex maritime environments. The successful candidate is expected to conduct rigorous computational and cognitive modeling research leading to a doctoral thesis.
