About us
Damen aims to become the world's most sustainable and digitally connected shipyard. The Research, Development & Innovation (RD&I) department develops and implements the technology and know-how to achieve these ambitions. We actively assist the business in creating an innovative product portfolio and provide forward-thinking guidance to improve the quality and performance of Damen's products and services. You will be joining the Data Science team within Damen RD&I, located in Gorinchem. Our department focuses on applying cutting-edge data and AI solutions to Damen’s shipbuilding and maritime operations. The team includes domain experts in physics-informed machine learning, simulation acceleration, predictive maintenance, computer vision, and operational analytics. This internship is part of a strategic project aimed at accelerating complex simulations for ship performance using machine learning and graph-based AI.
The role
As an intern, you will work on the Fast Physics project, which aims to drastically reduce the runtime of high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of ship hulls. These simulations are essential in predicting how a vessel behaves in water, but they can take hours to compute. Instead of running time-consuming physics-based simulations, we use geometric deep learning, a type of machine learning that can learn from vessel designs and quickly estimate results like water resistance or flow around the hull. The outcome is a working prototype that can support early-stage design exploration and simulation optimization.
You will contribute to enhancing the performance of an existing system that predicts physical quantities, such as ship resistance and flow fields, based on geometry and operating conditions. Your primary focus will be on a dedicated topic involving the training, validation, and extension of the framework to support multiple ship types and/or varying levels of simulation fidelity. The assignment can be a thesis/graduate internship and could start from September onwards.
