Information Technology and Electrical Engineering Doctoral Programme – ITEE-DP PhD Mirjami Jutila ITEE-DP coordinator Infotech Oulu Focus Institute coordinator University of Oulu UniOGS – Introduction to Doctoral Training, March 14, 2019

Infotech Oulu Promotes multidisciplinary research and enhances the quality of research in the strategic focus area of research on Digital solutions in sensing and interactions: Long term research and researcher training through 12 spearhead projects and 5 emerging projects Post-doc researcher and PhD student positions in selected projects for 2018-2022 Aims to design, facilitate and support collaboration: Within the focus institute Within the focus area With other focus areas Organizes Infotech and focus area activities that benefit the PIs, the post docs and the students Histopathological grading of osteochondral tissues is widely used as the gold standard in OA research Also relatively common approach in post-surgery in vitro diagnostics Conventional histopathological grading has a number of limitations: Destructive Sample processing artefacts A few 2D sections are limited to evaluation of local degeneration only 2D section does not represent spatial 3D structure and composition of the tissue Final outcome is subjective

ITEE-Doctoral Programme Four doctoral degree programs: - Electrical engineering - Communications engineering - Computer science and engineering - Information processing science Together with UniOGS, organizes annually 30-40 different field-specific PhD intensive courses, summer schools, talks and lecture series Other courses together with the other three doctoral programmes and UniOGS Histopathological grading of osteochondral tissues is widely used as the gold standard in OA research Also relatively common approach in post-surgery in vitro diagnostics Conventional histopathological grading has a number of limitations: Destructive Sample processing artefacts A few 2D sections are limited to evaluation of local degeneration only 2D section does not represent spatial 3D structure and composition of the tissue Final outcome is subjective
