IVB - Research
Research
The Department of Manufacturing and Civil Engineering is divided into four subject groups, each of which has its own research fields, in addition to being involved in interdisciplinary research collaboration. The institute has a professional education and research profile that will contribute to solving the most central global social challenge; development of sustainable solutions in industry and society. Our focus areas are:
- Manufacturing engineering
- Advanced and sustainable composites
- Digital twin for sustainable built environment
PhD studies at the Faculty of Engineering
Doctoral Programme
PhD studies at the Faculty of Engineering is closely linked to the research strategy of each department. At the Department of Manufacturing and Civil Engineering you will be closely linked to one of our research groups. The PhD program combines academics with methodological schooling and practical experience. For more information, please contact the person responsible for a research group or the Deputy of Research:
