Ph.D.Machine and Process Control

The doctoral study program "Machine and Process Control" is based on the needs of future employers and their demand for highly qualified experts, especially in fields focused on advanced control of machines, industrial systems and processes, energy systems, environmental biotechnology processes, as well as communication, data processing and control in industrial systems using modern methods of artificial and computational intelligence.
The study concept is focused on scientific research and independent creative activity, taking into account strong interdisciplinary links in the given field of modern mechanical engineering. Students of the program will be provided with knowledge in progressive areas of mathematical modeling, control theory, project management, computational and optimization procedures, and artificial intelligence methods.
The doctoral study program responds to the need to educate experts who are able to understand and develop increasingly complex monitoring, control and data processing systems across all areas of industry (mechanical engineering, energy, biotechnology, manufacturing, space technology). This complexity is increasing due to the increasing integration of supply-demand chains, the massive development of automation and robotization of individual processes and their increasing interconnection leading to the creation of autonomous production systems that are able to adaptively control and optimize individual production processes in real time thanks to advanced sensors.
Another important moment that must be addressed in education is the emergence of a whole range of new production technologies, including, for example, additive and embedded concepts of Industry 4.0, whose top-notch adoption and the ability to further develop them on the basis of one's own research is a necessary prerequisite for their possible subsequent integration within intelligent production systems, modern informatics and cybernetics. The aim of the doctoral study program is not only to educate experts who are equipped with this knowledge, but who are able to create new original results within research and development and subsequently commercialize them in practice.

Machine and Process Control graduates are capable of carrying out research & development to consequently transfer the interdisciplinary insights to the industry as members of research or managing staff in applications of automated control systems, artificial intelligence and industrial informatics. The topics particularly include designs of the control of mechanical, mechatronic, transport, energy or chemical units or indoor environment control systems. Further, programme graduates are prepared to address the challenges the society faces, such as environmental protection, be it in the form of developing new nature-friendly technologies or optimizing the existing ones to minimize their environmental burden. This is also associated with the graduates? readiness to contribute to the development of driving systems in electric and (semi)autonomous vehicles.

Doctoral graduates possess profound knowledge to complete the most challenging research tasks as well as experience with the latest experimental and diagnostic methods and world-class pilot and operating equipment. This allows them to tackle complex tasks in development of data management and processing systems on a theoretical level as well as to experimentally verify their conclusions by designing and realizing experimental equipment, conducting an evaluation and producing generalized results. Given the complexity of the latest technology that the education focuses on, emphasis is placed on strengthening the links among the particular areas of the doctoral study programme as well as on fostering interdisciplinary connections on the level of related fields. Relying on this knowledge, graduates are able to comprehensively solve, objectively evaluate and formulate the attained original results of scientific research assignments. Also, they are able to present or realize the same on an international scale, taking into account intellectual property issues. Programme graduates are suitable candidates for jobs in the field of industrial research and development, new technology design and implementation, and management of complex industrial systems. Other opportunities can be found in the academic sector and other institutions focused on science, R&D and innovations on the national and international level.
