PhD in Advanced-Systems Engineering

The purpose of this international Ph.D. program is to train a new generation of researchers able to carry out independent research in the areas of advanced systems Engineering and give them the opportunity to transfer and exchange knowledge with national and international research centers and industries.

This international Ph.D. program 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 centers and industries.

The three-year Ph.D. program 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, and 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.

The Free University of Bozen-Bolzano was founded in 1997. Our university has a strong international outlook, as testified by its multilingual courses (German, Italian, English, and Ladin) and the high number of students and teaching staff from abroad.

The taught modules on offer and our research projects are linked to international and inter-regional networks. For example, within the Euregio project, we are partnered with the universities of Innsbruck and Trento, and we are committed to reaching top quality standards.
