The Ph.D. program aims to train students in advanced research skills necessary to develop an in-depth understanding of various areas of industrial engineering and related fields, such as mechanical design theory and simulation, innovative industrial technologies and materials, operations management and the solar energy.
The program covers multiple research areas and enables students to acquire multidisciplinary expertise through a structured scientific approach that integrates theoretical modeling, prediction, experimentation, data interpretation, and the pursuit of optimal solutions. These activities are always involved in product innovation, manufacturing technologies, and process improvement.
Moreover, the PhD program 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.
Upon completion of the three-year program, Ph.D. graduates are expected to possess the scientific knowledge and experience required to lead technological innovation efforts, whether in research centers of excellence or within national and international industrial environments.
In the "Annual Report" section, the ongoing research projects within the Ph.D. program are listed.
