Introduction
About the programme
The aim of the PhD programme is to educate candidates with knowledge and skills that make them competent to improve production processes and reduce environmental impacts of such processes. This may be achieved through new or modified equipment and procedures, and through improved process control. The ultimate goal is to increase the industrial sustainability.
The successful candidate will typically find employment in companies, universities or research institutes working on design, operation, control and measurements of industrial processes.
