This opportunity is for a fully funded dual PhD program in "AI-enhanced multi-criteria decision analysis of offshore wind energy systems and risk control measures," jointly offered by Mahidol University (Thailand) and Liverpool John Moores University (UK). The program is hosted by the Faculty of Engineering at Mahidol University and the School of Engineering, Faculty of Health, Innovation, Technology and Science at Liverpool John Moores University. The research focuses on applying artificial intelligence to decision analysis, risk control, and life cycle assessment in offshore wind energy systems, with a strong emphasis on environmental and water resources engineering. Supervision is provided by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Trakarn Prapaspongsa (Mahidol University), Prof. Shabbir H. Gheewala (King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi), Prof. Dr. Jun Ren, and Prof. Dr. Jin Wang (Liverpool John Moores University). The scholarship covers all tuition fees and provides support for two engineering degrees, one from each institution. Applicants must have a B.Eng./B.Sc. (GPA > 3.00) and M.Eng./M.Sc. (GPA > 3.50), experience with MCDA, LCA, risk assessment, and energy systems, and an IELTS score of 6.5 (valid within 2 years). The application deadline is 22 January 2026. Interested candidates should send their CV, transcripts, English test certificate, and statement of purpose to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Trakarn Prapaspongsa at [email protected]. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted. Key academic keywords include AI-enhanced decision analysis, offshore wind energy, risk control, multi-criteria decision analysis, life cycle assessment, energy systems, environmental engineering, and water resources engineering. This is an excellent opportunity for students interested in interdisciplinary research at the intersection of environmental science, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering, with the added benefit of international collaboration and dual degrees.
