Do you aspire a doctorate?
We highly encourage you to pursue your goal. Within the doctorate in the area of design methodology for engineering resilient systems, it is intended to implement a dynamically reconfigurable redundancy in hardware and to investigate its effectiveness as a countermeasure against physical attacks. The doctorate is supported by an experienced supervisor and accompanied within the framework of a supervision agreement. We aim together for completion of your doctorate within 3-5 years. After one and a half years, the topic will be finally defined and the contract duration will be adjusted accordingly by mutual agreement to the foreseeable doctoral period.
You already have finished a doctorate?
You will broaden and deepen your expertise and have opportunities to build your reputation as a scientist in international and interdisciplinary projects with global visibility at the edge of top-notch technologies.
