Project Detail:
Joining one of the largest University based automotive propulsion research groups in the world, this project is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the development of methodology for optimisation of complex large-scale systems using performance computing and machine intelligence. You will be responsible for developing methodology that facilitates exploration of the design space using machine supported augmented intelligence. The ultimate aim is a hybridisation of human and machine ‘intelligence’ in order to achieve optimal design of large scale dynamic systems.
You will have access to national scale high performance computing facility and the support of experienced researchers and practitioners in the field.
