University of California Berkeley
Doctor of Philosophy in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research
The Doctor of Philosophy in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research in Engineering and Technology is offered by University of California Berkeley.
The Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research (IEOR) at the University of California Berkeley (UCB) offers three graduate programs:
UCB's programs have been developed to meet the needs of individuals with backgrounds in engineering or the mathematical sciences who wish to enhance their knowledge of the theory, development, and use of quantitative models for design, analysis, risk management, and decision-making.
- Master of Engineering (MEng)
- Master of Science (MS)
- Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
This knowledge applies to complex systems in the industrial, service, or public sectors, including energy systems, supply chains, healthcare systems, and financial systems. Students may concentrate on theoretical studies in preparation for doctoral-level research, or on applications of state-of-the-art techniques to real world problems.
The paramount requirement of a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research is the successful completion of a thesis on a subject within Industrial Engineering and Operations Research.
Research areas may include the investigation of the mathematical foundations of and computational methods for optimization or stochastic models, including risk analysis.
Research also may be undertaken to develop methodologies for the design, planning, and/or control of systems in a variety of application domains, including supply chains, energy systems, healthcare systems, and financial systems.
