Harness Generative AI to boost creativity, productivity, and innovation with practical skills and ethical insights.

Generative AI is revolutionizing the way we work, create, and innovate. This immersive one-day course is designed for professionals, entrepreneurs, and individuals who are new to AI and want to explore its practical applications. No prior experience with AI tools is required.

Through interactive discussions and hands-on exercises, participants will gain a foundational understanding of Generative AI technologies like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Craiyon. They will discover how these tools can enhance content creation, streamline business operations, boost productivity, and assist with personal development.

The course also delves into AI’s practical applications, from generating blogs to conducting market research, analyzing data, and designing visuals. Attendees will learn how to leverage AI for strategic decision-making, customer engagement, and personal organization. With a strong focus on ethical practices, data privacy, and AI’s limitations, participants will develop the confidence to use these technologies responsibly. By the end of the day, they will leave with actionable skills and strategies to integrate AI into their personal and professional lives.

Abstract:

Subsea pipelines and cables are regarded as the lifeline of offshore oil, gas, and renewable energy developments, yet their stability and integrity are challenged by complex interactions among waves, currents, temperature-pressure fluctuations, and seabed conditions. This seminar presents a series of advances in understanding and engineering the pipe-soil interaction mechanisms on complex seabed’s such as calcareous sands.

The talk will first introduce a three-dimensional framework for pipeline stability, built upon a plasticity-based dual yield surface “bubble” model that captures nonlinear seabed resistance under cyclic loading. Validated through centrifuge tests, this theoretical foundation led to the development of a macro-element approach for efficient 3D analyses.

Second, the seminar will introduce the development of UWAPipe and UWAHydro, numerical tools for time-domain simulation of pipelines under combined wave-current loading, which have been adopted by engineering firms such as JP Kenny and Technip and applied to deepwater projects including Gorgon and Wheatstone.

Lastly, the seminar will explore a new mechanism of axial pipeline instability under combined thermal and pressure effects. Analytical solution and physical modeling system for axial pipeline walking will be presented.
