What will I learn?

The goal of the doctoral training for PhD students in the doctoral program "Automation of Engineering Work and Computer-Aided Design Systems" in the Department of Systems and Control (SC) is aimed at:
a) improving the qualifications of the enrolled PhD students;
b) shaping them as highly qualified teachers for TU-Sofia
c) developing them into competent, knowledgeable, and capable scientists ready to meet the challenges of modern industry and technology.
Achieving the set goal is associated with the fulfillment of the following tasks:
a) compliance with legal requirements in the training of PhD students;
b) the training and consultation of PhD students shall be carried out by highly qualified habilitated teachers;
c) continuous improvement and modernization of the material base to follow global standards in the scientific field;
g) application of modern achievements in the field of information and communication technologies for research activities, analysis and processing of information and data;
d) maintaining continuous contact, close interaction and responding to the growing interest of companies in the field in scientific and applied research related to the topic of the doctoral program.
In the Faculty of Automatics as a training unit, there are six specialized laboratories in the theory of automatic control, equipped with specific equipment, where doctoral students can be successfully trained in the doctoral program "Automation of Engineering Work and Systems for Automated Design". The research of doctoral students is carried out in the laboratories "Microprocessor Control Systems", "Modeling and Simulation of Processes and Systems", "Modern Control Systems", "Embedded Control Systems", "Industrial Control Systems of the company Schneider Electric", "Industrial Control Systems of the company Siemens".
TU-Sofia, Faculty of Automatics is the educational institution in Bulgaria that can provide training for doctoral students in the doctoral program "Automation of Engineering Work and Systems for Automated Design", which will be in accordance with European requirements regarding the type of research:
● theoretical and experimental;
● of an engineering nature.
The topics on which doctoral students are trained in this program are relevant and are determined by the national priorities in the specific scientific research field, namely: development of methods and tools for research and improvement of systems and tools for automatic control.
