The Technical University of Denmark invites applications for a 3-year PhD Scholarships within the field of Liner Shipping Network Design, and Maritime Optimization.
Project Description
Containerized shipping is an eco-friendly mode of transportation. Liner shipping companies offer scheduled services by sailing container vessels on fixed routes between sea terminals in a way much similar to how buses transport people in cities. A good route network should ensure short transportation times, a high utilization of the vessels and low energy consumption.
The successful candidates will model and implement optimization algorithms for route net design. Due to the size and complexity of the problem, it will be necessary to use the latest optimization methods including advanced heuristics and decomposition techniques. The outcome of the projects is prototype algorithms, which will be tested on real data, and published in scientific journals.
DTU Management EngineeringThe position is attached to the section of Management Science (MSC) at the Department. The group is very active within maritime optimization, having several larger projects in the research field with a number of affiliated PhDs and postdocs. Cooperation takes place with Maersk Line, Maersk Tankers and other maritime companies. The group has also published the first benchmark suite for liner shipping network design.
Qualification RequirementsCandidates should
