University College Cork vacancies
Project title: Geotechnical big data monitoring and assessment tools for evaluating whole-life performance of underground infrastructure
Supervision team: Dr. Zili Li (UCC) and other collaborators at UCC, Tyndall, University of Cambridge, UC Berkeley, MIT, Tongji, etc.
Project description:
This project will develop and improve the aforementioned two novel tools (distributed fibre optic sensing, drone, robotics and image-based defect assessment) for geo-infrastructure monitoring in collaboration with Cambridge University, UC Berkeley, Tyndall and industrial partners. The developed novel monitoring tools will be applied to 2-4 ageing & prospective underground infrastructures in a large scale to gather more comprehensive monitoring big data than previously available at lower cost.
The gathered monitoring datasets will 1) reveal comprehensive ground-tunnel behaviour in 3D large scale, and 2) validate advanced finite element models for evaluating geo-infrastructure performance during the life cycle, subject to deterioration, climate change, etc., aiming to save infrastructure maintenance cost and increase their serviceable lifespan.
Position Description: Two 4-year PhD full-time positions start from 01 Jan 2023 or soon thereafter. The stipend is 18,500 euros per annum with a contribution to tuition fees of 5,500 euros per annum or tuition fee waiver.
One 2.5-year Postdoc position starts from May 2023 or soon thereafter.
