Not funded by a EU programmeIs the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? NoOffer Description The candidate's research activities will encompass multiple critical components ranging from the development of high-fidelity simulation models, with rigorous validation against physical industrial demonstrators and the development of the AI tools for the analysis. The project will strongly emphasise the development of physics-based machine learning techniques to achieve a novel approach to structural health monitoring (SHM). By embedding machine learning models grounded in physical principles, the project aims to make the digital twin a robust real-time monitoring tool capable of adapting to variations in material properties and process parameters. The ultimate goal is to enable automated health assessments of composite structures throughout their lifecycle, supporting predictive maintenance and extending the longevity of structural components in critical industries.Candidates should hold an MSc degree in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Data Science, Industrial Math, or related disciplines with excellent academic credentials and a solid commitment to developing an academic career in an international and multidisciplinary environment.
