The current industrial competitive landscape requires, as an essential element, the ability to conceive, implement, and sustain highly innovative industrial design and production systems capable of reconciling market demands with social considerations, as well as technological and environmental sustainability constraints, which are increasingly regarded as indispensable for achieving prominent positions at the international level.
To this end, it is necessary to provide companies with individuals who possess the full capacity to actively propose innovation, with an awareness of the social and economic benefits and costs that any significant transformation entails.
The PhD program, therefore, aims to train students to comprehend innovative industrial technologies, along with their theoretical, design, and methodological aspects.
To this end, participants will acquire multidisciplinary skills grounded in a coherent scientific approach, emphasizing the synergy between modeling, forecasting, experimentation, data interpretation, and the pursuit of optimal solutions. These competencies are vital for innovating products, advancing manufacturing technologies, and enhancing production processes.

Professional Opportunities
The objective is to train students in advanced research skills necessary to acquire in-depth knowledge across various areas of industrial engineering and related fields, such as mechanical design theory and simulation, innovative industrial technologies and materials, operations management, solar energy, and the nuclear fusion sector.
The PhD program in Design, Manufacturing and Operations Engineering not only relies on a strong network of collaborations with national and international universities and research institutes, but also stands out for its close ties with a wide range of public and private companies. These partnerships are fueled by the high value placed on the training of our PhD students, who are well-equipped to tackle the challenges of design, production, and technological experimentation with a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach. This strong synergy with the industrial world often leads to concrete and timely career opportunities upon completion of the doctoral program, facilitating access to positions of responsibility in both the industrial and applied research sectors.
