<p>I am looking for a university that has a good PhD program in theoretical DevOps topics. Especially any program that is trying to advance the beyond Deming's Theory of Profound Knowledge, Goldratt's Theory of Constraints and other related topics. Do you know a professor specifically interested in running a program like that and currently doing advanced research in this field?</p>

<p>I have found some companies, which do consulting in this area and try to push it forward, but I am having problems to find some program in academic setting with sufficient credibility.</p>

Chiming in in defense of Jiri on this one. I think we should reopen. I've heard this question asked a few times and it never gets a thoughtful answer. As a community, we should compile an answer to this as it would be a valuable reference, regardless of how broad it may be.

A very similar question was asked on academia: [Graduate program focusing on DevOps](http://academia.stackexchange.com/questions/15675/graduate-program-focusing-on-devops).

so far I can see an offering of one semester dedicated to ALM/DevOps: https://www.ti.bfh.ch/de/weiterbildung/weiterbildungsangebote/cas/alm/tabs/uebersicht.html

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-03-20)

I am looking for a university that has a good PhD program in theoretical DevOps topics. Especially any program that is trying to advance the beyond Deming's Theory of Profound Knowledge, Goldratt's Theory of Constraints and other related topics. Do you know a professor specifically interested in running a program like that and currently doing advanced research in this field?

I have found some companies, which do consulting in this area and try to push it forward, but I am having problems to find some program in academic setting with sufficient credibility.

Here are some interesting articles in which DevOps is mentioned:
