Overview
Our research education program spans a large spectrum that includes the theoretical underpinning of computer science, the development of applied embedded and distributed systems, the design of computer hardware, the design of software languages, the processes, practices, and methods of real-world software engineering and realistic drawing of images in computer games and films.
Features
- When you study in the doctoral program in Computer Science and Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology, you will contribute to the development of theories and concepts to describe, understand, and develop the use of computers.
- By doing a PhD in Computer science and engineering, you will gain a broad understanding of current research issues and practical applications, in-depth insights into one or more fields, as well as knowledge of research methodology.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- Bioinformatics studies algorithms for handling, analysing, structuring and/or visualising biological data.
- Computer engineering studies the behaviour of computer systems’ hardware and software, in particular modelling and analysis of their non-functional behaviour (e.g., energy consumption, reliability, security, critical timing or realism in computer graphics).
- Computer science studies logical-mathematical modelling of computation with applications to algorithms, data, software languages and machine learning.
- Interaction Design studies designing computer-based products and systems with central focus on usage.
- Natural Language Processing studies the development of computer programs for analysing, understanding or generating human languages.
- Software engineering studies systematic, disciplined and quantifiable approaches to design, development and maintenance of software in practice.
