SUBPRO Subsea Production and Processing
What opportunities do you see as a PhD candidate in SUBPRO?
“Being part of the team to deliver solutions to real industries’ needs is inspiring, I have the opportunities to
deepen my understanding of condition and prognostic based maintenance, with the chance to see diverse
ideas, experience and approaches to problems under the framework of the big project.”
What kind of work do think could be relevant for deploying the knowledge from your PhD project?
“The outcomes of this PhD study is not limited to a specific industry branch. As of today, there is a growing
need for RAMS expertise in a wide range of industries and organizations like O&G, transportation, aerospace,
defense etc. The knowledge, skills and philosophy obtained from the project assist me to identify and solve
challenges lying in the interface of theoretical and practical areas.”
