Mechatronics and Information Technology

D-MIT, in conjunction with the Research Unit of Mechatronics and Information Technology under RIC-ITC, is one of the five doctoral programs of ITC, established in 2017, recognized by the Ministry of Education Youths and Sports. D-MIT was developed by the relevant experts in Mechanical engineering, robotics, electronics and automation, information and technology including the lecturers and researchers at ITC with the support from partner universities and institutions. Students can register for a single degree at ITC, or a degree under cotutelle (co-supervision) between ITC and a partner university in France. The cotutelle program is selective and upon the agreement between ITC and the partner university. 

D-MIT students will develop in-depth understanding of the key technologies and engineering in their research area of mechanical engineering, robotics, electronics and automation, information and technology, data science, computer vision and other related fields. D-MIT students will work closely with researchers of MIT research unit (generally, one of them is the student’s supervisor) and they also can be co-supervised by the professors from our partner universities or research institutions (France, Belgium, Japan, etc.).

D-MIT is a full-time program (3 to 6 years), consist of 54 credits: 21 credits for coursework (Supplementary/Prerequisite and Doctoral courses, and PhD Orientation courses), and 33 credits for research and thesis (3 credits for detailed research proposal, 6 credits for national/international publications, 3 credits for the presentation in scientific conference, 3 credits for seminars, 18 credits for Thesis writing and defense). This program trains doctoral students to be specialized in their respective advanced research and development field such as intelligent mechatronics, artificial intelligence, telecommunication and internet of things, optimization for operation research and supply chain, electronics, and communication and other relevant fields.  Detailed curriculum can be found on the website of GS-ITC.

Starting from the academic year 2017-2018 to 2023-2024, twenty-one students have pursued this program. 4 students have graduated. Currently, there are 17 students enrolling in the program and the details are reported in the table below.  The list of current and graduated students including their including research topic can be found on the website of GS-ITC.

This program involves over 8 faculty members whose specializations are in mechatronics, electronic and automation engineering, data science, robotics, and relevant fields. They hold doctoral degrees from Europe, Japan, or ASEAN. They are involving in the program for teaching or/and supervising the D-MIT students. Some students are jointly supervised by professors from partner universities. The list of faculty members in D-MIT program can be found in list of lecturers and supervisors or on the website of GS-ITC.

Four theses have been published since the academic year 2020-2021. The list of published theses can be found in list of thesis and the website of GS-ITC.

Regarding the dissemination and publication, 13 articles were published in international journals. The list of theses and publication are presented in the webpage of graduate school: The list of publications is presented in list of publications in the webpage of GS-ITC.
