Educational goals
This Doctoral Study Programme (DSP) “Nano and Microtechnology” aims to prepare scientists in the field of research, development and innovation who will be sought-after experts in the applications of nano and micromaterials. The DSP will involve the most prominent personalities at the Technical University of Liberec (TUL) in the field of chemistry and nano and micromaterials. In addition to these experts, a number of experts from the Czech Academy of Sciences (CAS) will be involved in the study as consultants or course supervisors. The students will then undertake six-month internships at foreign institutions, enabling them to gain the latest knowledge and learn professional techniques from excellent scientists on a global scale.
Profile of the graduate
The graduate of the doctoral study programme has a deep theoretical knowledge with interdisciplinary overlap between engineering and natural sciences. He/she is proficient in advanced experimental and theoretical tools for studying problems related to the development, research, characterization and especially application of nano and micromaterials. The graduate has acquired knowledge of the structural and physicochemical properties of nano and micromaterials, advanced methods of characterising them, performing laboratory experiments or modelling their properties. On the basis of the acquired knowledge is able to formulate research hypotheses and propose procedures for their verification, work safely in the laboratory and responsibly assess the risks of such work, apply modern instrumental methods and techniques, conduct research in laboratories or in the field, collect and evaluate data, including the results of their own experimental measurements. Based on the results, design specific applications or solutions for practice, optimise their parameters and monitor their effectiveness. The graduate is prepared for independent or team work based on a detailed analysis of the given issue, critical analysis, evaluation and synthesis of current professional knowledge in the studied area. He/she is able to use this to create scientific and engineering works that extend the boundaries of current knowledge and state of the art. Graduates acquire in-depth expertise in chemistry, material sciences and other relevant natural sciences depending on their chosen subjects, while having an interdisciplinary overview with overlap between engineering and natural sciences. The graduate also acquires professional skills in the preparation, characterisation and application of nano and micromaterials. Furthermore, the graduate is qualified to publish internationally, to supervise other staff and to prepare grant proposals.
