INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS *

Given UDLAP commitment to academic excellence, Knowledge, acquired by students, is expected to be of high-level, deep, significant, critical, innovative and socially relevant, that allows them to solve effectively professional problems, both theoretical and practical, leaving behind superficial, mechanical and non-reflective learning.

The Ph. D. program in Intelligent Systems aims to train researchers with the ability to design and implement innovative systems based on Artificial Intelligence, and to develop new technologies with leadership and ethics. These systems will be applied to different areas, such as Medical Signal Analysis, Communications, Automation, etc. These results will be attractive and beneficial to industrial sectors and society. This will be possible through the full-time student involvement in the program, research projects, groups associated with the research areas, publishing of results, dissemination of research activities in international forums, and engagement in continuous learning.

  • To promote the Ph. D. program in order to recruit candidates of high academic standards in the selection process.
  • To increase the number of publications by the faculty, who integrate the program, through the collaboration of doctoral students.
  • To link the Ph. D. program with companies, and with other national and international universities.
  • To contribute to the generation of new knowledge on different areas through the development of thesis projects by PhD students.
  • To train professionals with skills to do research so that they can work in companies or higher education institutions.

The student who wishes to enter is required a bachelor degree in areas related to the doctoral curriculum (areas of engineering, physical science - mathematics, computer science or equivalent). The student must take a general knowledge test as well as an English test that proves the level of proficiency in the language.

A graduate from the Ph. D. program on Intelligent Systems program is a professional trained to carry out research work. He/She is an expert and leader in his field, dynamic and competitive, prepared to respond to the changing landscape of information technology. The graduate is a high-level professional, prepared for exercising tasks of design, implementation and evaluation of AI systems. He/she is also trained to develop cutting-edge technology and to participate in multidisciplinary projects.

At the end of the program the student will:

  • Know methodologies for selection and review of previous research work through the collection of the latest research literature to identify the background for a research projects.
  • Master the procedures for preparation, development and publication of an article to deliver research results.
  • Plan, develop and carry out proposed executive proposals for research and technological development seeking financial efficiency and emerging technological trends to conduct research of high scientific, technological and socio-economic impact.
  • Collaborate and be part of research networks through the use of platforms, technology and protocols to enrich experience by criticizing or assimilating research from other academic peers.
  • Dedicate efforts to the completion of a research project through the interaction with colleagues and academic peers to generate products of scientific and technological impact, publications and talks at conferences.
