1. UniOGS – Introduction to Doctoral Training
October 18, 2018
Information Technology and Electrical Engineering Doctoral Programme – ITEE-DP
Phd Mirjami Jutila
ITEE-DP coordinator
Infotech Oulu Focus Institute coordinator
University of Oulu

2. Strategic mission of Infotech Oulu
Aims to design, facilitate and support collaboration:
Within the focus institute
Within the focus area
With other focus areas
Organize Infotech and focus area activities that benefit the PIs, the post docs and the students
Promote long term research and researcher training through 12 spearhead projects and 5 emerging projects
Just finished (or finishing) recruiting post-doc researchers and Phd students for the years
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

3. ITEE-Doctoral Programme
Four doctoral degree programs: - Electrical engineering - Communications engineering - Computer science and engineering - Information processing scientific
Together with UniOGS, organizes annually different field-specific PhD intensive courses, summer schools, talks and lecture series
Other common courses with other doctoral programmes and UniOGS
