Overview
The International Ph.D. Program in Planning e Decision Methods represents a New Ph.D. with a specific Program to create experts skilled in creating solutions based on the most innovative methodologies related to Planning e Decision Methods.
Learning objectives
The primary goal of the SE doctoral program is to create experienced researchers who can work alongside Decision Makers to design, develop, deploy, and finalize new solutions that provide advantage in decision making.
Ph.D. students will focus on developing a combined use of Modeling, Simulation, Algorithms, Data Analytics, and Artificial Intelligence closely related to Big Data, to support Decision Makers in a wide range of applications, which will be mainly focused on the fields of logistics and transportation, telecommunications, finance, medical sciences, and biotechnology.
We emphasize the strongly interdisciplinary nature of the Ph.D. course, aimed at a design of "robust" systems, able to cope with possible changes in their operating conditions.
The main topics faced during the three years course are:
- Modeling, Simulation, Design of complex systems
- Optimization
- Computational Intelligence
- Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Games, Big Data, Decision Making and Telecommunication
Career perspective
In addition to the continuation of research activities at universities or research institutes both public (National Research Council) and private, the natural professional outlets for this Ph.D. course are:
- Private companies of all industries
- Public Bodies and Administrations
- Consultancy Companies
- Freelance Consultants
- Hi-Tech companies involved in the development of innovative smart solutions
- International research centers and facilities
Organization
The Ph.D. Program covers a period of three years, starting in Autumn of each academic year.
During the program, many activities are developed: attendance to courses, attendance to conferences and seminars, individual study, development of the research project, but also participation in academic life and support to teaching activities.
Admission exams are held in July of the previous academic year (after interested students have submitted their proposal, following indications all details are found in the official call on the University of Genova website).
N.B. Before enrolling, please download the Ph.D. UniGe Rules.
