Primarily, we are looking for an individual dedicated to data-driven modelling, semantic representation and visualisation of chemical processes and industrial networks of an industrial park. The project aims at comprehensive virtualisation of an industrial park, i.e. a hierarchical representation of data and models associated with every entity in the industrial park, in order to exploit synergies for resource, energy, and emissions savings. The overall goal is, using ideas from Industry 4.0, the Internet of Things, the Semantic Web, machine learning, artificial intelligence and statistics, to create an expert system capable of providing quantitative decision support. The successful candidate will be expected to assume intellectual leadership in the development of the theoretical and mathematical foundations as well as the wider, ongoing development of our main software tool. This will involve keeping abreast of the latest web technologies, making key design decisions, and ensuring their realisation. Being part of a 3-member consortium will require close interaction with collaborators.
