The Role:

The EPSRC funded project “Enhancing maritime safety: developing an accessible real-time semantic wave imaging analyser for seakeeping” is led by Dr Ya Huang at the University of Portsmouth. The aim of the project is to predict wave-vessel-payload interactions by extracting semantic wave feature in real time. This requires accurate 3D wave geometry information over time – a dynamic 4D scene. Our methodology takes advantage of computer vision, deep learning, computational mechanics and human biomechanics approaches to correlate visual wave features to hydrodynamic and biomechanical loads acting on the vessel, payload and crew.

The project team is consisted of three academics and two post doctorate researchers. The post holder will be one of the two researchers supported by the EPSRC.

Based at Portsmouth, the research fellow will be responsible for developing a) a new real-time stereo vision and data acquisition systems, b) computational mechanics algorithms for wave and vessel hydrodynamic modelling, and c) additional analysis leading to the write-up of results for the stereo vision database and fluid-vessel dynamics model.

The role holder will engage in developing, analysing, interpreting data and generating project reports, writing technical manuscripts for research journals and material for publications. The post-doctorate researcher will be responsible for liaising and coordinating with the project industrial partners and experts in the field of marine fast vessel domain and the main UK search and rescue operators.

The post holder will maintain a project website with tutorials and information for software and hardware configuration in the University domain with video content to showcase project outcomes. The university media team will support the production of web content in the middle and completion of the project.

The researcher should hold a PhD in mathematics, physics or engineering discipline with experience in either wave theory, hydrodynamics, numerical mechanics, and and/or computer vision.

This is a fixed term contract to August 2027 aligning with the project duration to ensure sufficient progress is made before outcomes can be published, and the dedicated wave stereo vision database and fluid-structure interaction codes are ready to be disseminated to the scientific communities.
