PhD Information Technology

The Department of Electronics and Information offers to brilliant graduates in scientific disciplines an advanced education and research-track activity in the fundamental areas of the Information & Communication Technology (ICT): electronics (ELE), Computer Science & Engineering (CSE), Systems & Automatic Control (SAC) and Telecommunications (TEL).Besides specialized research, the doctorate course emphasizes cross-related research fields, such as ecology, environmental modelling, nanotechnologies, operations research, transportation, robotics, multimedia, web technology, etc. The doctoral studies pave the way to interesting career positions, in the industrial as well as in the academic research, both in Italy and abroad. The extensive teaching programme covers a variety of disciplines, forging the students towards an advanced scientific specialization, accompanied with high-spectrum culture in the unifying technological aspects that

characterize the ICT area. In the laboratories, prototypes of innovative systems are developed, for electronics, robotics, telecommunication networks and optical measurements. Basics, methodology as well as cutting-edge courses are provided in a three year based educational path. In addition, students are asked to complete a major thesis and at least one minor research study. Scientific collaborations with prestigious research institutions in Europe, the United States, and elsewhere, facilitate the entrance into the world of national or international research through meetings with scientists, visits to foreign laboratories, and joint doctorate courses. The intense industrial collaboration in R&D allows the doctoral student to become acquainted with the activities of technologically advanced companies, thus acquiring the necessary elements for an informed choice between a career in industrial research or in universities.

Presentation of the PhD theses and discussion with industrial referees

The PhD students which have completed their studies will present the results of their theses in a poster session. The purpose is to introduce in a clear but synthetic way their research work, and to discuss future developments, the scientific and technological interest and the possible impact on the industrial world. One of the main goals of the meeting is to present innovative and original research within the PhD program in view of its exploitation also in industry, creating opportunities for collaboration. Discussion in the meeting will include a panel with the board of industrial referees of the PhD program and professors from the Department, which aims at gathering opinions from representatives of the industrial world on the importance of the PhD studies in research and innovation. The board of industrial referees is composed by managers of companies and research institutions that represent important sectors of ICT. The meeting is open to interested academic and industrial participants.
