Applied Informatics

The Doctoral Study Programme (DSP) Applied Informatics at the Faculty of Science of the University of Ostrava has been prepared and is implemented with two partners: the Institute for Research and Applications of Fuzzy Modelling (IRAFM OU) of the University of Ostrava and the Institute of Geonics of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (IG CAS CR). The aim of the DSP Applied Informatics is to train highly qualified professionals who are able to carry out basic and applied research in the field of informatics with overlap to other scientific disciplines. DSP Applied Informatics deepens students' knowledge of theories and models of formal tools for description and analysis of complex information systems and algorithms for solving problems in informatics. A strong emphasis is placed on knowledge and skills in the modern and rapidly developing areas of artificial intelligence and big data.

Graduates can find employment as researchers in academia or as information technology experts in industry and organizations that use mathematical models, numerical methods, statistical analysis, mathematical logic, special programming techniques, and modern artificial intelligence tools (e.g., large language models) to solve actual problems in practice. In the industrial field, they will find particular application as heads of analytical, research, consulting or development teams/departments in industrial companies.

Experts from the IRAFM OU teach and guide students especially in the areas of modern artificial intelligence tools (e.g. large language models), mathematical logic, computer vision and fuzzy modelling. Students are regularly involved in scientific and research projects at the IRAFM OU. This allows them to gain experience working on specific problems under the supervision of erudite experts.
