The doctor study programme is devoted to the preparation of the high quality scientific and research specialists in various branches of electrical engineering, namely in theory of electromagnetism, electrical circuits, general methods of signal processing and electrical measurements.
The aim is to provide the doctor education in all these particular branches to students educated in university magister study, make deeper their theoretical knowledge, to give them also some practical knowledge for their individual scientific work.

The doctors are able to solve scientific and complex engineering tasks from the area of electrical engineering and electromagnetism.
Wide fundamentals and deep theoretical basis of the study program bring high adaptability and high qualification of doctors for the most of requirements of their future creative practice in all areas of electrical engineering.
The doctors are competent to work as scientists and researchers in many areas of basic research or research and development, as high-specialists in the development, design, construction, and application areas in many institutions, companies, and organisations of the electrical and electronic research, development, and industry as in the areas of electrical services and systems, inclusively in the special institutions of the state administration. In all of these branches they are able to work also as the leading scientific-, research-, development- or technical-managers.

Students who finish this study area are able to deal with scientific and complex engineering tasks from the sphere of general electrical engineering and electromagnetism.
The PhD graduates are, owing to the developed high-quality theoretical education and specialization in the chosen field of study, sought as specialists in the area of general electrical engineering.
In the sphere of general electrical engineering and electromagnetism, the PhD graduates will be competent to work as scientific and research workers in basic and applied research, as specialized development, construction and operation experts in various research and development institutions, electrotechnical and electronic production companies and corporations and with producers and users of electrical systems and devices, where they will be able to make use of modern computer and measurement techniques in a creative way.

1. Fiber optic transducers for sensing of electromagnetic transients

   The state of the art in technology of optical fiber manufacturing and advances in crucial fiber parameters allow to engage fiber in sensing applications where classical transducers are hardly to apply. One of the important areas is sensing of electromagnetic transients with relatively high magnitudes. The thesis will be focused on the research and development of optical fiber sensors for identification and measurement of quantities of pulsed magnetic fields and electric currents. A special attention will be paid to methods of birefringence effects suppression together with preservation of dynamic parameters of the sensors. The utilization of novel optical fibers with low inherent birefringence will be examined also.

2. Mapping of an electrical conductivity based on impedance tomography

   Electrical properties of materials we can obtain using different variants of impedance tomography algorithms. The input data are the measure data U-I (voltage-current) or B-I (magnetic field - current). The work is oriented to determine the sensitivity of reconstruction algorithms to input data obtained using different measurement ways. The aim of the research work is to find and experimentally verify the stable and not time-consuming algorithms with respect to required accuracy.
