Jaspreet Singh

PhD opportunity in Civil Engineering (Geotechnical) through a joint PhD award between BITS Pilani and RMIT University . The post advertises two project options: • AI and ML models for predicting the volume change behaviour of problematic soils (Project Code: BITS025F001507 ) • A Data-Driven Meta Model for Offshore Wind Energy Geotechnical Site Investigation (Project Code: BITS025F001450 ) Co-supervision is available from faculty at both institutions, including Prof. Jaspreet Singh and Prof. Mohammad Aminpour from RMIT University. The opportunity emphasizes access to world-class research infrastructure and a global academic experience, starting at BITS and extending with up to a year in Australia. Funding includes full tuition scholarships from RMIT, highly subsidised fees at BITS, a stipend, health cover, and return airfare while based in Melbourne. The programme is described as a clear four-year progression with structured coursework, confirmation milestones, and thesis completion. Eligibility/fit: candidates should be interested in Geotechnical Engineering and research with global impact. The research themes connect civil engineering, soil mechanics, AI/ML, and offshore wind energy site investigation. Deadline: 10 October 2026. How to apply: use the application link provided in the post and search the listed project codes/titles for the relevant project. Apply before the deadline.
