Doctoral Center NITRO

With the doctoral center “Sustainable intelligent technologies for resource-optimized production” (NITRO), the THA is represented in a network with the Deggendorf Institute of Technology and Landshut University of Applied Sciences.

The mission of the doctoral center is to provide intelligent and sustainable technologies for resource-optimized production. This is done with three focal points:

• When researching intelligent production systems & processes, methods such as AI, Industrial Internet of Things and Digital Twin are applied.
• The focus area Product Design & Materials Engineering addresses the sustainable combination of different material classes and their processing methods to manufacture sustainable products.
• The Technology & Innovation focus area focuses on systemic approaches (in particular model-based systems engineering) and integrates sustainability assessments such as life cycle assessments into the evaluation of products and production processes.

The key topics of sustainability and resource efficiency are an integral part of all research activities at the doctoral center.

Establishment of the doctoral center

The foundation stone for the operation of NITRO has been laid with the adoption of doctoral regulations and statutes for the doctoral center.

Until the first doctoral candidates can be accepted in the first quarter of 2025, guidelines still need to be adopted and processes designed. We will inform you here as soon as an application for admission to the doctoral center is possible.

Doctoral degrees

The doctoral degrees Dr.-Ing. and Dr. rer. nat. can be awarded for doctorates at the NITRO Doctoral Center.

Doctoral degree regulations and statutes

Currently, 19 professors are members of the NITRO doctoral center.

These professors can supervise and assess doctoral projects.
