About this position
Monash University Malaysia is advertising a PhD project under the Global Excellence and Mobility Scholarship (GEMS 2026) on AI-Driven Adaptive Mobility for Resilient Transport in Flood-Prone Urban River Basins.
The project sits within the Engineering and Information Technology area and is linked to the CLIMATE-POSITIVE CITIES interdisciplinary thematic cluster for urban transformation. The research focuses on climate change impacts on transport systems, especially severe rainfall and riverine flooding, and aims to develop community-led adaptive mobility plans for disrupted road networks.
Key research themes include artificial intelligence, machine learning, transport geography, urban planning, civil engineering, geographical information systems, big data analysis, and transport modelling. The project will integrate flood vulnerability assessment into transportation simulations using rainfall patterns, land use, and climate scenarios to identify at-risk road segments and critical mobility corridors. It also emphasizes dynamic digital mapping and context-specific evacuation paths for vehicles, pedestrians, and other road users.
The ideal candidate should have a background in transportation engineering or operational research, with experience in transport modelling, programming, big data analysis, and AI optimization considered advantageous. The post also highlights strong analytical skills, scientific curiosity, teamwork, and an interest in smart, resilient, and sustainable mobility in the ASEAN context.
This is a competition-funded PhD opportunity for students worldwide. Funding notes state that GEMS recipients are funded for an immersive year at Monash University Australia, Monash University Indonesia, or the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay for up to 9 months, with access to Monash’s global research network and infrastructure during candidature.
Eligibility requires at least First Class Honours (H1) or equivalent recognised by Monash University Malaysia, plus the required English language level.
To apply, first contact the supervisor Dr Susi Susilawati to confirm fit, then submit the application via the GEMS application route and select the same research topic as advertised. Review the application submission guide and GEMS information pages before submitting.
