PhD Studentship: Wind-Assisted Ship Performance Prediction
Investigate wind-assisted propulsion systems to support regulatory greenhouse gas reduction in the maritime sector.
Best for:Best for engineering or naval architecture graduates with a strong interest in maritime decarbonisation and performance modeling.
Overview
Birmingham City University invites applications for a fully-funded PhD studentship focused on wind-assisted ship performance prediction and regulatory greenhouse gas reduction assessment. The successful candidate will conduct advanced computational and analytical research to evaluate energy-saving technologies for maritime transport. The project aims to develop predictive models that assist regulatory frameworks in curbing greenhouse gas emissions. The researcher will work closely with academic supervisors to publish findings and contribute to sustainable maritime engineering.
What you'll do
- Conduct independent research on wind-assisted ship performance prediction methodologies
- Develop and validate computational models to assess greenhouse gas emission reductions
- Analyze complex datasets relating to ship operations and environmental variables
- Prepare high-quality manuscripts for peer-reviewed academic journals and conferences
- Collaborate with academic and industry stakeholders within the maritime sector
