Job Description
We are seeking a highly motivated Research Fellow to join the project of Development of an AI-based integrated system for safe management of ammonia fuel in maritime sector led by Prof. Yang Wenming and Dr. Zhou Xinyi. Major duties and responsibilities include:
- Design an intelligent fiber optic monitoring system that provides real-time detection of incidents such as ammonia fuel leaks and pipe deformations, and prevents accidents through early detection of pipeline cracks.
- Establish the scaled-down integrated test-bed to validate the effectiveness of the developed intelligent monitoring system.
- Formulate detailed R&D experimental plans and carry out system setup, signal acquisition and processing, as well as algorithm design, implementation, and optimization.
- Assist the team in the establishment of the ammonia fuel engine and its associated systems.
- To supervise/mentor undergraduate and graduate students that work in the lab.
For further inquiries, please contact Dr. Zhou Xinyi ([Confidential Information])
