The PhD stream provides in-depth training for students who are interested in basic or applied research. All students in the PhD stream will be admitted initially in the pre-candidacy status. Upon satisfying the Division’s candidacy requirements, a student will be allowed to progress to the post-candidacy status.
The candidacy examination is a written examination to ensure that the student has a sufficient set of knowledge in Electronic Engineering. The major graduation requirement for a PhD student (post-candidacy) is a doctoral thesis that contains a substantial amount of original research work in the selected areas.
This department has four research groups covering various research areas:
- Robotics, Perception and AI Group
- Multimedia & Signal Processing Group
- Integrated Circuits & Systems Group
- Solid State Electronics & Photonics Group
