DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN ENGINEERING (PhD)
• Electrical & Computer Engineering
Our PhD program is designed to train independent researchers. Our students are called upon to perform highly specialized and original research that makes a distinct contribution of knowledge to:
lakeheadu.ca/masters-enve-engineering lakeheadu.ca/graduate-program-enve-engineering
Circuits
Energy Systems Semiconductors Communications
Natural language processing Semantic web
Artificial intelligence
Under the direct supervision of one of our faculty members, our PhD candidates learn to review the state of current technical knowledge in a research area, to identify strengths and weaknesses in this research and
to devise a new research initiative to contribute to the area. Students
must carry out this research project with objectivity and care, and they are expected to document and publish their results in internationally recognized journals and present their research at conferences. Our graduates can choose to stay here and become leaders in the booming technology sector of Northwestern Ontario, or move on to R&D careers in companies across Canada and worldwide.
