Dear Coastal List members,
A research opportunity is open to pursue a PhD on Maritime Infrastructures: Development of an integrated Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system for floating wind platforms.
The training plan includes participation in specialized courses, international conferences, and internships, aiming to develop advanced skills in SHM, fluid–structure interaction, and predictive maintenance.
The ultimate goal is to contribute significantly to the safety and efficiency of offshore wind energy production.
The candidate will undertake a training and capacity-building period at SINTEF OCEAN in Trondheim, Norway.
The supervisory team is composed of Diogo Neves (INESCTEC) and Paulo Rosa Santos (FEUP), together with co-supervisors from INESCTEC and SINTEF Ocean (Norway).
Application Period: from 02 Oct 2025 to 17 Oct 2025.
