Project Description

There are currently several active research groups at the Department of Civil Engineering and Energy Technology. The department is actively involved in the PhD program in Engineering Science. The PhD-program at TKD has a multidisciplinary profile and offers a variety of topics within engineering science. The program is a collaboration with the research center on digital engineering: SimulaMet. TKD is an important contributor to OsloMet’s strategic goal of being a leading provider of research and education for solving the big challenges for society – today and in the future.
For more information about the program, please see here.

Area of research

The Faculty of Technology, Art and Design currently have an opening for a PhD position at the Department of Civil Engineering and Energy Technology, in the area of smart and advanced materials. Smart cities, buildings and structures is a strategic research area for the Faculty of Technology, Art and Design. Smart structures represent a novel engineering approach that not only improves the safety of structures but also provides valuable opportunities to increase their service life and decrease their environmental impact.

One focus area of the Department of Civil Engineering and Energy Technology within this field is smart materials. Smart materials can be defined as highly engineered materials that respond intelligently to their environment and be sensible and interactive. On a broader level, one can include advanced engineered materials that are optimized for its purpose. In this context, we will consider smart materials that are employed in the field of structural engineering.

This can involve the study of unconventional materials such as shape memory alloys like self-sensing concrete and smart skins and engineered or functionally graded materials or even 3D printed/additive manufactured materials. The potential of using finite element modelling and material modelling, together with artificial intelligence and machine learning methods, will be investigated. Using the reality gap and data mining algorithms, we can develop a fundamental understanding of the behaviour of smart or advanced materials using real and virtual laboratory tests.

The main supervisor will be Professor Aase Reyes, Department of Civil Engineering and Energy Technology.

Application Deadline

The deadline for applications isFebruary 25 2021
