Departments, research fields and supervising professors
The Aalto Doctoral Programme in Electrical Engineering offers doctoral education in 13 research fields. Each doctoral student is appointed a supervising professor who represents the research field approved for the student.
Research fields and supervising professorsThere are three departments at the School of Electrical Engineering. Read about the research focus of each department on their pages.
Department of Electrical Engineering and Automation
The Department of Electrical Engineering and Automation is an ecosystem where scientists and engineers from different fields of microsystems, electrical engineering and automation work together to solve the most challenging scientific problems.
Department of Electronics and Nanoengineering
Department of Electronics and Nanoengineering (ELE) conducts research and arranges related teaching courses in the fields of electromagnetics, micro and nanotechnology, radio engineering, and space technology.
Department of Information and Communications Engineering
The department of Information and Communications Engineering has a strong focus in the ICT area varying from ICT technology to core electrical engineering and its basic phenomena.
Ombudspersons and support for challenges
Ombudspersons are voluntary professors with solid experience in academic practices whom doctoral students can contact confidentially in challenges related to the thesis work. In case of challenging situations, we also have a support system of e.g. study psychologists and workplace mediators.
