Researcher Data Science & Machine Intelligence Job Description

Your future workplace
Henk Prins, R&D Manager: ‘We address longer-term questions from the maritime industry and government by conducting practical scientific research. The results are translated into knowledge and tools that can be used in our projects. For example, we work with data from our own experiments or from mathematical models that we develop. We aim to generate additional knowledge in the area of big data analysis. We would like to safeguard this knowledge for the longer term and apply it in a wide range of MARIN fields of application.
 
Your future role
Bart Mak, Researcher: ‘We are more and more using data science and machine intelligence in our research programmes to increase our understanding of hydrodynamics and to improve the practical applicability of our simulation models. This allows us and our clients to take better decisions in maritime operations. We apply data science and machine learning to large sets of data measured by ourselves and to simulated data sets, but also to AIS data. To give you an impression: we use machine learning to predict wave conditions based on the ship movements we measured. Another example: we apply reinforcement learning to automating navigation and steering of ships in order to improve collision avoidance systems in the shipping industry. We are also using machine learning, with the help of AIS data, to identify risky or unpredictable behavior.
 
We have taken the first steps and there is much more to explore and investigate. We would like to welcome you to our team to strengthen this research area!’
