A talented and innovative researcher is required to investigate methods and techniques for analysis, interpretation and representation of the content of electronic communications and engineering digital assets to make predications and forecasts that can lead to improved engineering project management.
Based in the Department of Computer Science, you will have the aptitude to work in an integrated way across a broad research programme, in a multidisciplinary, multi-institution team.
The project has a number of research challenges including the collection, analysis, interpretation and representation of complex and both sparse and large, varied, datasets and establishing ‘signatures’ of changing content/structure. The intention is to provide understanding/insight/predictions about engineering projects from the content of the dataset engineering communications (email and social media) and digital assets (CAD models, simulations and technical reports).
You will join a Bristol-Bath research team working on a £2M EPSRC-funded Programme grant involving collaborators including Airbus, Arup, Delcam, JLR and Babcock.
