The number of PhDs in Computer Science granted under the supervision of faculties from our Department has increased significantly, especially after the beginning of NOVA LINCS strategic project, in 2015, with an annual average of 10 PhDs graduations.
Among the theses defended in 2016, nine have been developed in the context of the Doctoral Program in Computer Science and one within the Doctoral Program in Digital Media.
The success of our doctoral education is grounded in a strong commitment to innovation, research, and technical leadership in Computer Science and Informatics, in coordination with the research activities of the Department’s research center NOVA Laboratory for Computer Science and Informatics (NOVA LINCS).
Furthermore, since 2015, we organize an annual workshop of the Doctoral Program in Computer Science, to share and discuss the ongoing research work of students from the Doctoral Program with the FCT NOVA community.
The Second Workshop of the Doctoral Program in Computer Science took place on December 16 with a keynote talk by Zach Mainen, principal investigator at the Champalimaud Foundation “Center for the Unknown”, and talks by PhD students and recent PhD program alumni.
