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.
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).
Among the theses defended in 2017, ten have been developed in the context of the Doctoral Program in Computer Science and two within the Doctoral Program in Digital Media.
