Offer Description
The research activity focuses on the technical and scientific development and exploitation of the OASIS (Off-grid Automatic System for Irrigation Sustainability) patent, concerning a smart, energy-self-sufficient valve for distributed monitoring and control of pressurized irrigation networks. Building on the results of the first prototype, the researcher will contribute to the development and optimization of its hydraulic, mechanical, energy and control components, leading to an optimized prototype to be tested under industrially relevant operating conditions (TRL 6/7). Potential applications will also be assessed, involving stakeholders and water management authorities to identify testing opportunities and foster technology transfer. The researcher may also contribute to teaching and outreach activities related to hydraulics, fluid machinery and sustainable water resources management.
