Obiettivi formativi del dottorato
Educational goals and objectives
descrizione:
Il dottorato in Astronomy, Astrophysics and Space Science, in convenzione tra Università di Roma "Tor Vergata" e Sapienza Università di Roma, insieme all'Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF) è attivo dal XXVIII Ciclo ed è tenuto in lingua inglese e dura tre anni.
Esso si prefigge l'obiettivo principale di formare una figura di futuro ricercatore competitivo internazionalmente nel campo dell'Astrofisica e delle Scienze Spaziali.
Il raggiungimento di questo obiettivo passa anche attraverso un offerta didattica mirata alle tematiche specifiche del Dottorato e attraverso l'eventuale partecipazione a Scuole e Workshop, nazionali ed internazionali, dedicate ai dottorandi in Astrofisica e/o Scienze Spaziali. In particolare, i dottorandi seguono almeno due corsi di 15 ore ciascuno su tematiche specifiche del Dottorato oltre a svolgere attività di stage e tirocinio presso enti di ricerca, nazionali e/o internazionali, e/o imprese.
Acquisite tali conoscenze, che rafforzano la preparazione derivante dalla Laurea Magistrale, il dottorando deve raggiungere le seguenti competenze:
1. Saper predisporre un programma di ricerca coadiuvato dai supervisori assegnati dal Collegio dei Docenti;
2. Acquisire le competenze tecnico-matematiche-informatiche e fisiche necessarie allo svolgimento del programma di ricerca;
3. Acquisire la padronanza della lingua inglese necessaria a una completa comprensione della letteratura scientifica inerente la sua ricerca;
4. Acquisizione di spirito critico tale da individuare aspetti problematici nella progettazione e nello svolgimento della sua ricerca;
5. Indipendenza nello svolgimento di progetto di tesi assegnatogli previsto dal programma;
6. Capacità di lavorare in un gruppo, anche con ruoli di coordinamento;
7. Acquisire padronanza nella presentazione dei risultati e delle conoscenze acquisite, sia di fronte ad un pubblico specialistico che ad una platea di non esperti.
PhD:
ASTRONOMY, ASTROPHYSICS AND SPACE SCIENCE
description:
The PhD program in Astronomy, Astrophysics and Space Science, run jointly by the University of Rome "Tor Vergata" and Sapienza University of Rome, together with the National Institute of Astrophysics (INAF) has been active since the XXVIII Cycle, it is taught in English and it lasts three years.
Its main objective is to train a figure of internationally competitive researcher in the field of Astrophysics and Space Sciences.
The achievement of this objective passes also through a didactic offer aimed at the specific topics of the PhD program and through the possible participation in national and international Schools and Workshops dedicated to PhD students in Astrophysics and/or Space Sciences. In particular, PhD students must follow at least two courses of 15 hours each on specific topics of the PhD program as well as carry out internships and apprenticeships in national and/or international research institutions and/or industries.
Having acquired this knowledge, which reinforces the preparation deriving from the Master's Degree, the doctoral student must achieve the following skills:
1. Knowing how to prepare a research program assisted by the two supervisors assigned by the PhD Academic Board;
2. Acquiring the technical-mathematical-informatic and physical skills necessary to carry out the research program;
3. Knowing the English language necessary for a complete understanding of the scientific literature concerning his research;
4. Acquiring a critical attitude to identify problematic aspects in the planning and carrying out of his research;
5. Independence in obtaining results useful to the assigned thesis project as foreseen by the program;
6. Ability to work in a team, also with coordination roles;
7. Mastering the presentation of his results and acquired knowledge both in front of a specialist public and of an audience of non-experts.

BORSE PARTNENARIATI ESTESI - COMPLESSIVA PER IL CORSO
- Development of advanced optical systems for future gravitational wave interferometers
Ente finanziatore: PE
Supervisor: Prof. V. Fafone, viviana.fafone@roma2.infn.it, University of Roma Tor Vergata Future gravitational wave observatories, such as Einstein Telescope (ET) will revolutionize the way we look at the Universe through gravitational waves (GW). These new detectors will observe the coalescence of stellar and intermediate mass black hole binary systems back to the dark ages of the Universe, before the star formation, shedding light on the first phases of the Universe and contributing solving the dark matter enigma. The expected unprecedented binary black holes and binary neutron stars detection rates promise breakthrough discoveries in fundamental physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics and cosmology. The next generation GW observatories will need new technologies to achieve the target sensitivity. In particular, the quality of the optics will represent a key ingredient to match such demanding requirements. The aim of this project is the development of cutting-edge adaptive optics technologies for the improvement of the quality of the ET core optics. The thesis will be carried on within the Tor Vergata GW group, in the framework of the ETIC Project (“Einstein Telescope Infrastructure Consortium” PNRR- IR0000004).
