Design manufacturing and operation of large maritime engineering systems and logistics optimisation modelling

The Liverpool Logistics, Offshore and Marine Research Institute (LOOM) within the Faculty of Engineering & Technology at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) has been actively engaged in niche and unique research in marine, offshore and transport studies for more than 20 years. LOOM has strong connections with several industrial/government organisations in the UK.

The research will cover the following areas:
- Fluidic sensor development for water quality analysis
- Global regional and local drivers to maritime legislations
- Green shipping/ports/logistics
- Human factor assessment in shipping
- Life cycle assessment and environmental protection in maritime operations
- Logistics and supply chain analysis using advanced techniques in operational research
- Maintenance modelling offshore installations
- Marine systems modelling and manufacturing automation
- Maritime security
- Multi model transport study
- Offshore renewable energy systems and structures
- Operations research (e.g. evolutionary computation and simulation) on transport, logistics, supply chain healthcare and internet of things
- Strategic decision making support for supply networks, unsteady transient flow and control of turbulent flow.
