Thomas Thuesen Enevoldsen
I'm currently working as a Senior R&D Engineer at ABB,
Marine & Ports, working on advanced control and algorithm solutions for the marine control product
portfolio.
Previously I was a Ph.D. candidate at the Automation and Control Group, Technical University of
Denmark,
supervised by Roberto
Galeazzi and
Mogens Blanke,
as part of Work Package 2 in the ShippingLab
project.
The topic of my research, and eventual thesis, revolves around developing and researching methods
for safe and rule-compliant (COLREGs-compliant) collision and grounding schemes for partially and
fully autonomous marine crafts. In March 2023 I successfully defended my PhD thesis titled "Informed
Sampling-based Collision and Grounding Avoidance for Autonomous Marine Crafts".
My past research had an emphasis on planning safe, optimal and COLREGs-compliant path deviations
for semi to fully autonomous marine crafts.
Adhering to the COLREGs, the maritime "rules of the road", is one of the great challenges for high
complexity multi-vessel scenarios.
We are currently working on exploiting sampling-based planning methods, in order to compute the best
possible path alterations.
Autonomy, marine crafts, wind turbine systems, control theory, fault diagnosis, and general robotics
research are realms within my working interests.
Besides my Ph.D in collision and grounding avoidance for marine crafts, I have a background in
Electrical Engineering (MSc.) studying Automation and Robot Technology,
with an emphasis on fault diagnosis and control systems.
