A pilot project between the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (IIT KGP) works to improve interdisciplinary skills, digital literacy, and critical thinking of undergraduate students.
Four PhD-Candidates or researchers from NTNU AMOS presented technology and research developed at our Centre of Excellence.
A subsea snake robot with connections to NTNU and AMOS is the hero in the Norwegian movie Nordsjøen from Fantefilm Fiksjon with premiere on Friday 29th October.
Professor Kristin Ytterstad Pettersen, at the Department of Engineering Cybernetics, wins NTNU employee prize for her groundbreaking research. She is one of seven key researchers in NTNU AMOS. Read more here.
The zooplankton Calanus finmarchicus will be the starting point for Kate Crosman’s work to understand trust in Big Ocean Data. How? Read on.
From a user perspective, the case for autonomous, zero-emission ferries is very appealing. Such vessels could solve both the transport and environmental needs of cities and local communities, while helping to decongest heavy traffic in urban centres.
The primary objective of TRUSST is to innovate an integrated assurance framework that takes as point of departure the insight that autonomous transport systems are formed by a complex and interdependent system of people, technology, organisations, regulators and the natural environment.
A new partnership between the Centre for the 4th Industrial Revolution Ocean and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) has been established to establish trust in ocean data collected from autonomous underwater vehicles.
Waves present an enormous challenge for the world’s roughly 91,000 commercial vessels, but predicting sea conditions is challenging. A new approach uses the movements of ships themselves to create an online estimate of what kinds of waves ships can expect.
The second edition of a popular textbook Handbook of Marine Craft Hydrodynamics and Motion Control, authored by Professor Thor I Fossen, from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is just released.
Two professors at NTNU have been awarded prestigious ERC Advanced Grants by the European Research Council.
Professor Kristin Ytterstad Pettersen at AMOS and Department of Engineering Cybernetics and Professor Henrik Koch at Department of Chemistry have each been awarded the prestigious ERC Advanced Grant by the European Research Council.
Each grant can provide up to NOK 25 million in support over five years.
The first TAC Challenge event was arranged this summer. The student organisation Ascend from NTNU won the challenge. Next year the challenge will include international teams as well.
– This is the stuff that our children's future are made of, Crown Prince Haakon said, talking about the ocean.
Kate Crosman just startet a postdoc at the Department of Marine Technology.
October 28th 2021 IMT had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Shukui Liu from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) as a speaker on ”The Semi-Empirical SNNM Method for Predicting the Added Resistance of a Ship Advancing in Waves of Arbitrary Headings’’.
IMT NTNU had the pleasure of hosting Prof. Apostolos Papanikolaou as a speaker in a webinar about Holistic Ship Design Optimization.
Subsea drones operated from onshore or autonomously is now being tested at NTNU's AUR-Lab (Applied Underwater Robotics-Laboratory) in the Trondheim Fjord. It can be a game changer in Norwegian offshore industry, and lead to less emissions in the operations offshore.
On 29th September, Head of the Science, Applications and Climate Department from the European Space Agency (ESA) - Maurice Borgeaud will give a virtual talk at IMT about arctic challenges seen from space.
Associate Professor Amir R. Nejad and Dr. Michaela Ibrion has written an article in ECO magazine about the need of a more interdisciplinary approach in the education of ocean fields.
The leader of the Institute on Marine Technique tells why he strongly recommend a sea wave laboratory in the planned Ocean Space Centre. (In Norwegian.)
The app «Ask Knut» will classify sea ice types. It is developed by Associate Professor Ekaterina Kim together with Ph.D. student Ole-Magnus Pedersen at NTNU's Institute of Marine Technology and Nabil Panchi from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
The prize was announced June 23 2021 on OMAE's 2021 Virtual Conference.
