Topics. New concepts, theory,
simulations or experiments about various applications of
fluctuations and noise, including:
- Various aspects of unconditionally secure data communications,
- Various aspects of noise-based logic and computing schemes,
- Fluctuation-enhanced sensing, (chemical and/or biological);
etc.
- Other topics of noise and random fluctuations (with a proper
idea).
Requirements for PhD include (in
addition to the successful course work and passing the qualifier
exam) :
- Publishing 4 first-author,
peer reviewed, journal papers (or 3 journal + 2 conference
papers); (MSc: 1 paper)
- Successful thesis writing and defense.
Duration statistics:
with research starting after the course work and qualifier
are completed, the fastest
PhD students (period of 2013-2016) defended within 2-3 years of
active research (some pauses subtracted).
(Note, this speed assumes high motivation with focused, efficient research and excellent
writing skills/motivation).
