EPD PhD Programme

Overview

The EPD PhD programme provides a comprehensive and intensive approach in the study of products and their design, whose development cuts across traditional disciplinary boundaries. Through a combination of cutting edge research and a sound understanding of design principles, students will engage in the development of engineering products to meet society’s needs and also in the exploration of new scientific breakthroughs as the emerging technology for future applications. The objectives of our programme are:

Development of engineering products that is important for society needs, such as electronic, electromechanical, magnetic, photonic, robotic, automated systems, aerospace and automotive, microelectronics, optoelectronics, information technology, digital media, biomedical devices and systems, and many areas indicated in the research areas.

Exploration of new scientific breakthrough that is potential to become the emerging technology for future applications.

Thus our programme is suitable for students with different backgrounds, such as physics, chemistry, electrical / electronic engineering, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, materials science and any other relevant fields. We believe that students will be attracted to the interdisciplinary nature of the EPD PhD programme supported by our faculty members with different research backgrounds.

We encourage you to contact phd@epd.sutd.edu.sg for inquiries about the programme.
