PhD course in Physical and Engineering Sciences for innovation and sustainability
PhD
3 years
Call opening period
The calls are currently closed. New openings are expected between July and August.
Updates will follow on the website.
The Research Doctorate in Physical and Engineering Sciences for innovation and sustainability has been active since 2006 (cycle XXII) under the name of Research Doctorate in Environmental Technical Physics. Since 2013 (XXIX cycle) with the name of Research Doctorate in Physical Sciences and Industrial Innovation Engineering. From 2022 (cycle XXXVIII) with the name of Research Doctorate in Physical and Engineering Sciences for innovation and sustainability. Therefore over the years it has increased the number of structured teachers involved and the topics always connected to the physical and engineering sciences for the environment, innovation and sustainability, arriving in the last cycles to have more than 15 members belonging to more than 3 CUN areas ( with more than 10 sectors, indicated at the bottom) always with a majority of components from the industrial and information engineering area (CUN area 09) but also including the Civil Engineering and Architecture area (CUN area 08) and Mathematical and Computer Sciences ( area 01) and Physical Sciences (CUN area 02).

The Doctorate intends to promote the preparation of researchers and professionals capable of being the fulcrum of innovation for industry and society, of contributing to the development of new knowledge, of managing original research and development projects, independently carrying out programs of strategic importance.
To achieve this objective, the Course promotes and supports a strong integration between basic and applied research with a high degree of interdisciplinarity, with particular attention both towards the productive realities active in this sector (see the various collaborations in the various research projects of the members of the college such as the companies SOLIDpower, Walter Tosto, ENERECO and HyGear partners of the BLAZE project, the companies ICI Caldaie, Calida Technologies, Marion Technologies partners of the GICO project, the companies SNAM and Rampini partner of the LIFE3H project, etc.) and both towards research through possible spin-offs that can be developed within the doctorate itself, thus creating new production realities that currently do not exist (using not only the Marconi laboratory, as an operational structure of this doctorate, but also the recent Marconi Innovation Hub and the CERITED – Center for Ecological and Digital Transition and the structures of other bodies with which USGM or directly the Department of Engineering Sciences already have agreements).
This multidisciplinarity is conceived as an inevitable integration and synergy between engineering design, energy and IT skills with those of a physical and mathematical nature and those of civil engineering and architecture, in order to promote a path capable of training self-sufficient people, both in the use of tools and methods for research, and the ability to transfer these high skills in the field of business innovation.
In particular, the doctorate intends to be the tool for the advanced training of professionals capable of moving within future technological scenarios in various contexts (Energy and environmental systems; Environmental Technical Physics; Fluid Machines; Mechanical Measurements and Thermal; Mechanical Design and Construction of Machines; Telecommunications; Information Processing Systems; Geotechnics; Construction Techniques; Techniques and Urban Planning; Experimental Physics; Mathematical Physics; Mathematical Analysis) with a multidisciplinary preparation capable of managing all points with a view to technologically advanced industrial production and services, where product and process innovation is achieved in an integrated way also with the territory and the environment, with big data management and with a careful eye on sustainability and basic science, engine of innovation.
Furthermore, knowledge of product development methodologies, management and analysis of processes, materials, energy systems for the production, storage and use of energy, including advanced mobility systems, will facilitate the implementation of advanced engineering approaches required today from the job market. The territory and urban transformations (including regeneration of the existing) will be the right reference context. All this explains the innovative potential in terms of patent possibilities associated with this activity and the personal growth of the eventual winner of this doctorate.
