The scholars initiate and drive cutting-edge research that with supporting studies, position them to be new leaders in the advancement of their field and for success in a range of careers in industry, government or academia.
Applicants can choose from various academic areas in Engineering & Technology particularly in CSE, ECE, Mechanical, Civil and focus on individualised research agendas that are directly relevant to their profession.
The inclusive curriculum provides students with state of-the-art methodologies needed to become intellectual leaders. Also, the students are able to develop skills that apply to careers both inside and outside academia.
We are proud to be home to committed, expert Engineering faculty with unmatched experience across a wide range of disciplines and methodologies. During your PhD you will partner with your designated academic supervisors, who will mentor, inspire, and help you find your path in academia.
The University's proven track record highlights regular publications of faculty and doctoral students in top academic outlets. We are dedicated to supporting students in reaching wider audiences and disseminating transformative ideas that advance engineering practice.
Immerse yourself in applied high-tech research and complex topics alongside renowned faculty experts in our state-of-the-art research labs. Select one of four future-focused concentrations:
PhD in Computer Science enables students to become experts in a technical subfield of computer science and contribute through original research in the discipline. In this specialised program, the students also gain practical experience in the classroom, as well as become visible members of the research community by publishing research and through oral presentations at conferences and research seminars. The research scholars pursuing the PhD degree in Computer Science are provided with an environment and facilities that help develop their analytic and research skills to define research problems and to study advanced knowledge bases to discover innovative solutions available to date.
Furthermore, the Doctor of Computer Science & Engineering degree program helps the research scholars to gain an in-depth understanding of a specialised subject. This allows students to predict developments and make contributions in their area of expertise.
Chitkara University’s Doctor of Philosophy in Electronics & Communication Engineering also builds on the foundation of a Bachelor’s/Master’s degree to train and prepare students for leadership in research and development and teaching positions in industry and academia. Our doctoral students are educated and trained thoroughly to find, understand, keenly observe and critically analyse a problem to explore various available solutions and provide the best one as per the given constraints. They are also trained and encouraged to write funding proposals and make presentations on their research/product ideas to various national/international, academic and industrial research funding organisations as per the chosen subject/area.
On completion of the PhD, students will be equipped to carry out their own independent research and train new researchers. The PhD program in electronics and communications thrusts upon but is not limited to the following main areas: Low Power VLSI Design, Circuit and System Design, Microwave and Antenna Design, Biomedical Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering, FPGA Based System Design, Signal Processing, Image Processing, and Microwave in Agricultural Technology.
The Electrical Engineering doctoral program prepares students for advanced research and expertise in various areas of electrical engineering. With a highly research-oriented faculty, the university offers excellent opportunities for the programmes. Additionally, the university undertakes sponsored research and development projects from both industrial and other public/private sector organizations.
The PhD program in Electrical Engineering aims to provide students with advanced knowledge and expertise in specialized areas such as: Power systems, Control systems, Power electronics, Renewable energy, Power engineering, Smart grid technology, Energy systems, Electrical Vehicle. We develop students' research skills through rigorous coursework, seminars, and hands-on projects, culminating in a doctoral dissertation that contributes significantly to the field of electrical engineering. We focus to instill professionalism, integrity, and ethical conduct in research and professional practice, emphasizing responsibility towards society and the environment.
The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Degree in Mechanical Engineering is the highest degree awarded by the Mechanical Engineering Department and is recommended for students who are interested in leadership careers in academia (e.g., as a faculty member of a university), industry, or government. The objective of a doctoral program is for the student to develop analytical, experimental and/or computational abilities in order to work and conduct independent research in the field of mechanical engineering.
Many of the skills cannot be learned in the classroom sitting, but instead must be developed in the laboratory, library, and conference room as the student actively interacts with faculty, other students, and researchers around the world. Independent, non-classroom based learning and problem solving is a core aspect of the PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering at Chitkara University. Upon completion of his/her dissertation, the student should be an expert in one of specialised subjects of Mechanical Engineering and shall contribute to discover innovative solutions for the problems of organisations, communities and society.
PhD in Civil Engineering is a course of study that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of structures that are integral to the general public, like roads, dams, bridges, canals, and additionally railways, sewage systems, etc. While pursuing a PhD in Civil Engineering, students will have to choose a specialisation area, like Geoinformatics, Geotechnical Engineering, Hydraulics, and Water Resources Engineering, Infrastructure Engineering, etc. to conduct research for their dissertation.
