Doctoral studies
Useful information regarding doctoral studies is available on the RTU website, in the section Doctoral studies.
PhD students in the department, develop doctoral theses within the programmes “Chemical Engineering” and “Chemistry, Materials Science and Technology”. Moreover, a substantial part of the research is developed in cooperation with the companies or their results are offered for valorization.
PhD students defend their thesis in RTU Promotion Councils “RTU P-01” and “RTU P-02”.
The following doctoral theses are currently being developed:
- Linda Dauģe, “Calcium phosphate-based bioceramic drug delivery systems“, scientific supervisor: Prof., Dr.sc.ing. J.Ločs
- Gunita Paidere, “The system of interconnected polymer pillars: a platform for biomedical applications“, scientific supervisors: Leading researc., Dr.sc.ing. M.Elksne (ISSP UL), Prof., Dr.sc.ing. J.Ločs
