Research Areas The doctorate covers eight major research areas: - Automation; - Electric and Magnetic Cad; - Photonics; - Industrial Energy Management; - Computer Science; - Electromagnetic Waves; - Instrumentation; - Telecommunications.
Objectives The objective of the Ph.D. is the training of researchers endowed with strong creative qualities and advanced methodological and technical knowledge in emerging areas of engineering. In this way, the Ph.D. aims at forming researchers with a cultural background, well fitted to the innovation requirements of the information society, from both the points of view of scientific originality and design ability. The Ph.D. activities are supported by research teams involved in projects at international level and provided with the necessary facilities. The research activity is completed, at the end of the third year, with the preparation of the Ph.D. thesis, focused on a scientific topic of relevant interest. The scientific level of research training is aligned with the highest international standards, as confirmed by the scientific production of the involved Departments, where the contribution of Ph.D. students is often very significant. The quality of the Ph.D. students fits the requirements for their professional recruitment in design and research laboratories of high level, both in Italy and abroad.
Research Projects The Ph.D. curricula cover a wide spectrum of disciplines and offer a large choice of research projects. Just as an indication, projects of current interest in the various research areas are: |
