Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology Department of Civil and Transport Engineering

PhD fellowships in Geotechnical Engineering
The Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology at The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) invites applicants for three Ph.D. fellowships within geotechnical engineering applied to foundation of offshore wind turbines.  The positions are a part of a joint academia-industrial initiative in the field Renewable Energy at the faculty. The research initiative is supported financially by Statoil, DNV and Norconsult.  The Ph.D. candidates will together with a postdoc and a professor form a research group with special focus on foundation of offshore wind turbines. The research will be part of a multidisciplinary effort within marine technology, hydrodynamics, structural engineering and material science and will be carried out in close cooperation with industry and the Centre for Environment-friendly Energy Research, Nowitech. (http://www.sintef.no/projectweb/nowitech/).

Research topics for the Ph.D. fellowships are:

Ph.D. 1: Numerical modelling of soil-wind turbine interaction
An important design criterion for offshore wind turbines is to ensure that the eigenfrequencies are sufficiently far from the main excitation frequencies. The stiffness of the foundation gives an important contribution to the global stiffness and the eigenfrequency. The aim for this study will be to improve the calculation methods for stiffness and damping of the foundation-soil interaction. The study will include finite element modelling, development of constitutive models for practical application to wind energy foundations and modelling of stiffness and damping applicable for fatigue life evaluations. Low strain stiffness of the soil will be addressed in particular. The study may also include accumulation of plastic strains during cyclic loading. Read the rest of this entry »

PhD Scholarship Open for International Students at Forensic Author Attribution, Norway

Study Subject(s): Forensic Author Attribution
Course Level: PhD
Scholarship Provider: Nislabs
Scholarship can be taken at: Norways

The proposed research will study how social identity group “fingerprints” can be extracted from a document collection and qualitative author attribution can be automatically performed in order to identify a writer/distributor of a questioned document. The research involves partners from forensic investigations services, i.e. Økokrim in Oslo (Dr. Thomas Walmann) and the Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI) in The Hague (Dr. Cor Veenman).

Computational approaches to authorship analysis usually focus on structural characteristics and linguistics patterns in a body of text (DeVel et al. 2001). While these approaches provide some forensic capabilities, there remains an urgent need for some way to discern the ideas and intentions conveyed in the text and use those qualities to help determine authorship (Stokar and Franke 2008). Recently developed text analysis techniques may offer a feasible way to automatically compute a semantic representation of text. Generative probabilistic models of text corpora, Read the rest of this entry »
