## About the Role

interdisciplinary track record who is able to integrate engineering, environmental, and social science knowledge into a new framework for zero-emission inland shipping. This position requires outstanding skills in modelling and working with big datasets. In addition, the applicants should have: PhD diploma in Transportation, Logistics, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Maritime Engineering, or any other related field. Experience with agent-based modelling is essential. Experience with big data analytics, Python, and an affinity for acquiring new skills in this area. Ability to collaborate with both scientific and industrial partners. TU Delft (Delft University of Technology) Working at TU Delft means contributing to solutions that really make a difference. For over 180 years, we have been training engineers who make an impact worldwide in companies, government bodies, or as entrepreneurs. Our alumni turn knowledge into concrete solutions for the challenges

## Description

effects will be simulated by aggregating the results of multiple vessels that together represent the corridor's traffic. Three regions will be modelled as areas of interest: the Rotterdam - Basel corridor (an open waterway, that is vulnerable to high and low discharge events), the Rotterdam - Antwerp / Gent corridor (a closed waterway that includes various locks and short-sea shipping), and the larger Port of Rotterdam region (a region that includes both sea-going and inland vessels in an area subject to currents and tides). While the scope of this research focuses on validating a digital twin using operational data from inland vessels, it is expected to involve close collaboration with project stakeholders and researchers within the project. This collaboration will contribute to the quantitative assessment of emission reduction strategies, paving the way toward zero-emission inland shipping.
