A Corp Lab in NTU is looking for a Senior Research Scientist to support research work under the project “Urban Sustainability” which aims to develop a suite of techniques for efficiently and effectively building new digital infrastructure of city scenes, managing all city data in a high definition and 3D/4D referencing system, and performing simulation, interaction, and analysis on the digital twin city model. The Senior Research Scientist will work on the simulation aspect of the project, focusing on i) data-driven model creation and auto-calibration of agent-based simulations; ii) dynamic creation of simulation instances for providing modelling and simulation as service on the Cloud; and iii) speeding-up and scaling-up agent-based simulations.
