Program Structure
The PhD programme is research-centric and tailored to support independent scientific development:
1. Advanced Scientific Foundations
Doctoral candidates build theoretical depth in areas such as: Semiconductor physics and device modelling; Micro- and nanoelectronics design principles; Signal processing and embedded systems; Photonics, RF and microwave electronics.
This solid theoretical base supports the design and interpretation of original research.
2. Methodology and Research Tools
Scholars acquire advanced research methodology skills, including: Experimental design and measurement techniques; Simulation and modelling tools (e.g., CAD for ICs, EM simulation); Data acquisition and analysis frameworks; Scientific presentation and publication skills.
These competencies ensure doctoral candidates can manage complex project work and contribute to peer-reviewed scientific literature.
3. Seminars and Scientific Engagement
PhD candidates actively participate in: Research seminars and faculty workshops; International and national scientific conferences; Collaborative projects with research groups and partners.
This engagement fosters networking, scientific communication and interdisciplinary dialogue.
4. Dissertation Research
The core of the PhD programme is the dissertation project — a substantial original research study that: Addresses a significant scientific problem; Advances electronics theory or application; Meets high standards of academic rigour; Is defended before an expert academic panel.
Successful defence awards the Doctor of Philosophy in Electronics degree.
