Starting in the 2026/2027 academic year, the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at CTU will launch two new master's degree programs: Electronics and Integrated Systems (EIS) and Communications and the Internet of Things (KIT). These programs are being created by dividing the existing Electronics and Communications (EK) program and reflect the fundamental transformation of the technological world and the growing demand for highly qualified experts, especially in the field of chip design and semiconductor technologies.

Students competing in Synth Challenge 2025 aimed to create the most realistic synthesis of an electric vehicle’s sound in relation to motion. On January 7, the expert jury awarded first place to the work of Ing. Jakub Dvořák, who prevailed over 10 other competitors. Ing. Dvořák graduated from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering (FEE) in the Electronics and Communications program with a specialization in radio systems. He is currently studying the program Teaching of Electrical and Cyber Engineering Subjects for Secondary Schools. The resulting syntheses of all competitors can be listened to on the website.

The fourth doctoral student to receive the Vice-Dean’s Award for PhD-authored Papers in Top Journals is Jakub Kučera from the Department of Drives and Electric Traction. He received the award on Tuesday, December 16, after giving a presentation at a departmental seminar on his scientific results published in an article in a leading impact journal in the field.

Doc. Milan Polívka awarded the Vice-Dean's Award for PhD-authored Papers in Top Journals to Ing. Adam Kubín, a doctoral student at the Department of Economics, Management, and Humanities FEE CTU.

With a prototype robot that he designed, built, and 3D-printed himself, Pavel Košnar won this year’s Electrotechnical Olympiad. The student of the Secondary Technical School in Česká Lípa impressed the expert jury with the advanced level and thorough execution of his project, which is already usable in practice. The Electrotechnical Olympiad of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at CTU (FEE CTU) was held for the thirteenth time this year. Ten finalists presented their projects at the faculty in Dejvice on Thursday, December 18.

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering at CTU has two new professors. The President of the Czech Republic, Petr Pavel, appointed Doc. Ing. Martin Hromčík, Ph.D., and Doc. Ing. Martin Saska, Dr. rer. nat., both in the field of cybernetics and robotics. They received their appointment decrees on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, at a ceremony in the Great Hall of Karolinum, attended by Minister of Education, Youth, and Sports Robert Plaga.

The research group of Prof. Jan Kybic is offering 2 PhD and 2 Postdoc positions in the field of medical image processing.
