Doctor's degree Interdisciplinary Engineering - University of Alabama at Birmingham

Doctor's degree Interdisciplinary Engineering from University of Alabama at Birmingham is a Campus Ph.D Engineering General degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. High Performance Computing (HPC), High Fidelity Simulations (HFS), Tera/Penta-scale data mining/management/analysis, image processing, feature extraction, pattern recognition, and geometry reconstruction are the key enabling technologies in addressing 21st century science and engineering problems. These technologies are necessary for the development of cross-cutting toolkits to enhance research and development in interacting biological, chemical, medical, physical, business and finance and engineering phenomena associated with interdisciplinary engineering research. In response to this need, UAB has made a strategic investment in establishing an Enabling Technology Laboratory (ETLab). The ETLab provides software and hardware infrastructure and support for high- performance parallel and distributed computing, numerical tools, information technology-based computing environments, and computational simulation to UAB and Southern Research Institute (SRI) researchers. In collaboration with UAB interdisciplinary investigators, the ETLab has established 6.0+ Teraflops high performance computing clusters, including a recently added IBM Blue gene with 2048 processors and visualization infrastructure with stereoscopic and high resolution large displays. Both hardware and software essential for interdisciplinary engineering research can be fully supported by this equipment. A 3D laser scanner necessary for full three-dimensional modeling and reconstruction has been acquired by a collaborative team including faculty from the Schools of Engineering and Medicine. Access to this and other equipment, as well as clinical data available in the Radiology, Orthopedic, and Surgery departments and the School of Dentistry will be available to the students and interdisciplinary teams of faculty members participating in the interdisciplinary engineering program. These teams have already been collaborating on several sponsored and un-sponsored research programs in both computational engineering and environmental health engineering tracks. Additional equipment to facilitate engineering research is available to Interdisciplinary Engineering students through the laboratories of the Departments of Materials Science & Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical & Computer Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, and Civil, Construction, & Environmental Engineering. Additional equipment is available to students through participating faculty from other Schools across campus. View more details on University of Alabama at Birmingham .
