I have a PhD student who is interested in combining PLANT SIMULATION with SAFETY ENGINEERING. If you have suggestions for topics or firms that might be interested in learning more, please get in touch.

Plant simulation is software modelling that creates a digital model of manufacturing/transport. It mathematically represents machines and humans, and includes variability in processes to determine production statistics.  See  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_Simulation
