How can undersea earthquakes be predicted in time, how can coastlines be protected more sustainably or how can mussel beds be preserved more effectively? The primary goal of the new EU-funded project NOESIS (Network for Oceanic Sensing and Integrated Science) is to fundamentally modernize the way the worldโs oceans are monitored, understood, and managed. Through an interdisciplinary approach, NOESIS combines technological innovation with extensive expertise and infrastructure in ocean observation. In doing so, the project enables a shift from passive, retrospective collection of marine data toward autonomous, real-time ocean observation and analysis - โ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ป๐๐ฒ๐น๐น๐ถ๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒโStarting in October 2026 under the lead of the University of Helsinki, a total of 15 doctoral positions (PhD positions) will be advertised and filled across Europe with a funding budget of โฌ4.5 million.๐ช๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฏ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ!Represented by the Institute of Institute for Networked Cyber-Physical Systems (Prof. Olaf Landsiedel) and the Institute for Autonomous Cyber-Physical Systems (Prof. Bernd-Christian Renner), the TUHH will host two closely collaborating PhD positions:โข ๐๐ & ๐๐บ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฆ๐๐๐๐ฒ๐บ๐: Investigating distributed, embedded AI for real-time multisensor analysis underwater.โข ๐จ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐๐ป๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป: Fundamental research on low-power integrated acoustic sensing and underwater communication using AI-based event detection.๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ ๐ถ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป: Training a new generation of researchers who bridge the gap between technological innovation (hardware & AI) and ecological expertise to make the "digital ocean" a reality.Exciting times ahead!
