Overview The PhD programme in Computational Engi-

neering is a joint initiative of the University of

Texas at Austin and the Instituto Superior

Técnico (IST) in Lisbon. This programme pro-

vides a new approach to the postgraduate

studies in multidisciplinary engineering and

computational sciences.

ObjectivesThe aim of this Doctoral programme is to de-

velop computational systems for the solution

of Engineering and Science problems. These

systems involve the mathematical analysis of

physical, chemical or biological process mod-

els, their computational implementation, and

the analysis of the numerical results.

Designed for This multidisciplinary PhD programme is in-

tended for students wishing to develop their

knowledge in the field of computational engi-

neering with applications in solids, structures,

fluids, aerospace, biomedical, physics and ap-

plied mathematics. The candidate should have

a MSc degree or equivalent in the areas of En-

gineering, Mathematics or Applied Sciences.
