  • Job Summary

    In this role, you will develop innovative methods for fusing underwater acoustic data with vessel movement data to detect security anomalies early and create a comprehensive situational picture.

    Job Technologies

    Your role in the team

    • As a new team member in the Situational Awareness and Cybersecurity Group within the Maritime Security Technologies Department, you will research and develop innovative methods for fusing underwater acoustic data from fibre-optic sensors (DAS) with vessel movement data from AIS, satellites, drones, and radar systems.
    • Your work will aim to detect security anomalies in the maritime domain at an early stage and integrate these into a combined surface and underwater situational picture.
    • You will plan and implement research projects to develop and evaluate AI-based algorithms for anomaly detection in heterogeneous, spatially and temporally distributed sensor data.
    • In doing so, you will utilise unsupervised learning, autoencoders, isolation forests and active learning to identify even unknown threat patterns in near real time.
    • Through your work, you will actively contribute to the creation of a robust, adaptive and decision-supporting situational awareness system for maritime infrastructure - directly linking fundamental research, technological innovation and practical application.
    • We would be happy to offer you the opportunity to use these topics for a PhD.
