Duration3 years
Research AreasThis international PhD programme trains a new generation of researchers who focus on Mechanical and Manufacturing Systems, Automation and Electronic Systems, and Computer Systems to carry out independent research in the areas of Advanced-Systems Engineering and to give them the opportunity to transfer and exchange knowledge with national and international research centres and industries.
The three-year PhD programme focuses on the study and development of advanced and intelligent systems through an interdisciplinary approach that responds to recent technological developments (e.g., Cyber-Physical-Systems, Industry 4.0, Internet of Things) by integrating the disciplines of mechanical engineering, manufacturing engineering, information engineering, and computer science. They are supported by specific skills in mathematics and artificial intelligence.
