      MSCA Doctoral Network PhD candidate (100%)

      The Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences (OST) is an intercantonal and interstate university of applied sciences with campuses in Buchs, Rapperswil-Jona and St.Gallen. With excellent Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programs and state-of-the-art continuing education courses, we train future-oriented specialists and managers. We are one of the leading institutions nationally in the field of application- oriented research and development as well as services.

      The "Training Wind Energy Experts on Digitalisation (TWEED)" Doctoral Network (DN) aims to train the next generation of excellent researchers equipped with a full set of technical and complementary skills to develop high-impact careers in wind energy digitalisation. Co-funded by the European Commission through the Horizon Europe Marie Sklodowska Curie Doctoral Networks Programme, the TWEED network offers 12 Doctoral Candidates (DCs) positions to provide high-level training in the new emerging research field of Wind Energy Data Science and Digitalisation.

      The goal of this DC project, titled "Novel methods for a knowledge graph generation approach within TWEED’s Virtual Wind Farm Hub", is to investigate, design and implement a knowledge graph generation approach for the Virtual Wind Farm Hub within the TWEED project. The Virtual Wind Farm Hub will be an open platform to facilitate the exchange of datasets, research results and applications and allow domain experts and data scientists to prototype new services.

      Due to its status as a Swiss University of Applied Sciences, OST cannot matriculate or award PhD degrees. The PhD candidate will therefore be matriculated at ETH Zurich under Prof. Eleni Chatzi (Chair of Structural Mechanics and Monitoring), who will co-supervise the thesis. The main supervisor is Dr. Sarah Barber at OST (Institute of Energy Technology), and a further co-superviser is Prof. Mitra Purandare at OST (Institute for Software).
