Our Ph.D. program focuses on the acquisition of skills and abilities required to undertake high-quality research work within the strategic framework and lines of research of the university. Thereby, our students participate in the research projects carried out by the Department of Bioengineering and Aerospace Engineering.

Those projects are highly linked to the diverse research lines of the department and count on broad collaborations from academic and industrial institutions, on national and international levels.

Below you will find more information related to all the research projects in which our PhD students research is framed.
