Electrical Engineering – (Ph.D.)

Contents

Electronics: The Doctoral studies in Electronics focuses on scientific exploration and independent creative activity within applied electronics, measurement and control electronics, automotive electronics, power electronics, and industrial electronics. The aim of the study is to deepen the theoretical basis of the branches of electrical engineering and to provide detailed up-to-date knowledge within a narrow specialization, which is reflected in the topic of the doctoral dissertation. The postgraduate students must complete four dissertation seminars and an exam in a foreign language. Other subjects can be chosen from the subject offerings of the branch. By successfully defending his/her doctoral dissertation, the postgraduate proves that he/she is able to deal with an assigned problem creatively, to present it both in oral and written form, and to defend his/her own problem-solving approaches.
The professional content of the course is ensured by a programme council, which consists of the professors teaching at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science of VŠB-TUO, professors from other universities, and experts from the profession.

Technical Cybernetics: The Technical Cybernetics branch of the Doctoral programme includes the use of cybernetic approaches to analysis, model making, simulation, and systems design. Further, it applies the theoretical findings of cybernetics to other areas. Technical Cybernetics, as the main application area, includes:
- Dynamic Systems: control systems with feedback, status, stochastic and fuzzy description of systems, control algorithms, built-in and distributed control systems, etc.
- Information Transfer: signal transfer and processing, sensorics, measurement and information systems, industrial networks, information entropy, communication channel capacity, etc.
- Artificial Intelligence: machine perception and learning, multi-agent systems, robotics, model making and designing neuron networks for control systems, man-machine connections, expert systems, etc.
- Information Technology for Control Systems: real-time operating systems, designing software for real-time work, SCADA real-time systems, software for real-time communication, etc.
- Biocybernetics: model making and simulation of physiological actions, transmission and processing of biological signals, measurement and sensorics of biological signals, designing hardware and software for healthcare systems, etc.

Electrical Machines, Apparatus and Drives: The Electrical Machines, Apparatus and Drives branch of the Doctoral programme is focused on scientific exploration and independent creative activity in the fields of electrical engineering, which include semiconductor power systems, electrical machines, electrical apparatuses, and electrical drives. Study is focused on the deepening of the theoretical basics of electrical engineering branches as well as detailed familiarisation with modern findings within a narrow specialization, which is reflected in the topic of the doctoral dissertation. The postgraduate students must complete four dissertation seminars and an exam in a foreign language. Other subjects can be chosen from the subject offerings of the branch. By a successful defense of his/her doctoral dissertation the postgraduate proves that he/she is able to deal with an assigned problem creatively, to present it both in oral and written form, and to defend his/her own problem-solving approaches.

Electrical Power Engineering: The Doctoral study of Electrical Power Engineering is a part of the study programme of Electrical Engineering, Communication and Computer Technology. The Doctoral study is four years long and the graduate is awarded the academic degree of Doctor (Ph.D., after their name). This study follows up on the completed Master’s studies and the student proves his/her capability of independent scientific work.
The aim of the Doctoral study programme is to further develop excellent graduates in the Master’s studies and their capability of independent creative work in the sphere of research, development, and improvement of technologies. By further study of theoretical and applied subjects according to his/her individual study plan and by drawing up a dissertation, the student proves his/her ability to creatively broaden the existing findings in the researched area of the studied branch. By the dissertation the student proves that he/she is able to deal with an assigned problem creatively, to present it both in oral and written form, and to defend his/her own problem-solving approaches.
