The Role

We are seeking a motivated and skilled Research Assistant/Associate to lead our research efforts in developing data visualisation and interactive dashboard technologies within an integrated digital twin environment.

The candidate will focus on developing a dashboard solution to visualise raw sensor data and transformed/congregated data through AI and other data analytics methods. This will also involve integrating multiple data sources, including Building Information Models (BIM) and Geographic Information System (GIS) data.

Working under a project co-funded by Innovate UK, you will have the unique opportunity to participate in a multidisciplinary environment, collaborating closely with other researchers within our lab and our industry partners.

You will play a pivotal role in translating research outcomes into real-world impact by supporting the technical integration of a data-driven dashboard with the database infrastructure. This will involve working closely with the research and development team to ensure seamless data connectivity, optimise data flows, and contribute to the integration into the software tool and deployment of a user-friendly interface that enables stakeholders to access, interpret, and act on insights derived from the dashboard.
