Ph.D.Mathematical Engineering
The study field of Mathematical Engineering offered by the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering is within the competence of the Department of Mathematics in cooperation with the Department of Physics and the Department of Software Engineering. Mathematical Engineering is interdisciplinary in nature, because it combines theoretical mathematical knowledge in many fields of natural sciences and engineering and applies it to mathematical modelling of processes in nature, engineering, and environmental protection; in the modern disciplines of mathematical physics; in theoretical computer science; and in discrete mathematics and software engineering, especially as applied to natural sciences.
Many academics from the Department of Mathematics share in the task of educating students on the advanced academic courses, along with academics from many significant research institutes of the Czech Academy of Sciences (the Institute of Computer Science, Institute of Information Theory and Automation, Institute of Physics, Nuclear Physics Institute, and Institute of Thermomechanics). The department also hosts internationally acclaimed teams, often involved in solving problems cooperatively.
Graduate profile
Graduates are profiled in one of the elected areas of modern mathematics (e.g. advanced functional analysis, algebraic structures, stochastic processes, aperiodic structures, non-linear partial differential equations) as well as in a broad field of applications (e.g. quantum mechanics, particle physics, materials science, advanced methods of computer science, and environmental protection). The doctoral thesis is then a proof of the student´s mastery of both selected parts of modern mathematics and their creative interdisciplinary applications. A significant asset of the course is that all doctoral students join research teams either directly at their department or at cooperating institutions, in particular institutes of the Czech Academy of Sciences and they often participate in large-scale projects of multinational teams abroad. The course can also be organised under dual supervision as a joint-degree course together with a distinguished foreign university (typically France, Germany). Doctoral students are encouraged to present their results at international conferences and publish them in prestigious scientific journals.
PhD course graduates have the educational attainments to embark without difficulty on a career both in fundamental and applied research, gain a postdoctoral fellowship from a foreign or domestic university, start their academic career at a university or a research institute, or even enter highly qualified positions in finance or software and computer companies.
