About the Scholarship
As part of Swinburne’s exciting Victorian Hydrogen Hub (VH2) project and in collaboration with Central Queensland University (CQU), we have an exciting scholarship available for an enthusiastic student to undertake a PhD degree with the research project 'Digital Twins for the Hydrogen Industry' as part of a broader multidisciplinary research team.
We are seeking someone who wishes to develop core skills and expertise in the developing hydrogen industry. The projects will develop a digital twin for a green hydrogen production system, including the renewable generator, electrolyser, water demineraliser, compressors, and the hydrogen storage.
The digital twin is an exciting concept that combines the areas of artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things to create digital replicas of real-world objects, systems, machines, or processes. These models can then be used to tweak and adjust variables to study the effect on whatever is being twinned, while also allowing the development of digital twin-based applications at a fraction of the cost. The digital twin can be used to monitor operation, run simulations, train technicians, study performance, and identify improvements for the real system, leading to more reliable and lower-cost green hydrogen production.
About you
To be successful in the role, you will have:
- Experience working with or modelling chemical, electrical and mechanical systems
- Experience with sensors and data collection
- Large-scale and advance data analytics knowledge skills
- Programming experience, e.g., Python or R
A full list of selection criteria is available within the position description.
