Overview

We offer a phd degree in Systems Science at the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca. Examples of current and relevant problems in modern society that can be treated using such methodologies are ensuring the efficiency of industrial and manufactured production systems, addressing the complexity of economic, biological, ecological and social systems, and making cyber-physical systems, in which software and physical systems interact, autonomous and reliable.

Features

These issues play an essential role in many industrial sectors, such as in the automotive, aerospace, chemical, infrastructure, energy, biomedicine, financial, and manufacturing industries.

During the doctoral course, the Ph.D. student will acquire skills to develop, use, and apply methodologies for analyzing and predicting complex phenomena through analytical and computational models derived both from first principles and from data, drawing on interdisciplinary fields such as mathematics, operations research, physics, statistics, computer science, and engineering.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

Each track offers a specialized "vertical" preparation on the corresponding reference, providing a high level of preparation, which is not normally possible to get during undergraduate studies, that is strongly requested for by both academic and non-academic jobs.

At the same time, through the attendance of basic courses, candidates belonging to different tracks will be exposed to the techniques and methodologies developed in contiguous, although traditionally not very communicative, disciplinary fields, fully realizing a "horizontal" interdisciplinary training.
