University of Pavia
National Ph.D. Program in Micro- and Nano-electronics
- Pavia, Italy
PhD
Full time
On-Campus
English
Micro- and nano-electronics is considered an essential technology, as it enables the development and growth of our society. It is explicitly mentioned in the most relevant strategic planning documents of Italy and Europe (eg: PNRR 21-26, European Commission, of which it is one of the Key Enabling Technologies, and the European Chips Act). Today, any technological development, in any sector, from telecommunications to biomedical, from mobility and transportation to energy, requires dedicated micro- and nano-electronic devices, which must be specifically developed and manufactured on large scale. The problem at an international level, identified with the term "chip shortage", which has clearly emerged in recent years, demonstrates how the world economy is increasingly bound to the availability of integrated circuits and systems.

You'll spend your PhD in Electrical and Electronic Engineering pushing the boundaries of what current technology can do, from advanced signal processing to next-generation power systems and semiconductor design. This is research-led study at its most focused.
The doctoral environment fosters independent inquiry and intellectual rigor, encouraging you to define original research questions and pursue them with depth and precision. Your coursework and lab work will likely cover areas such as electromagnetic field theory, control systems, photonics, or embedded hardware design, depending on your specialization. You'll also develop strong competencies in experimental methodology, circuit-level analysis, and technical writing for academic publication.
A PhD at this level goes well beyond foundational engineering principles. You're expected to contribute new knowledge to the field, whether through novel circuit architectures, wireless communication systems, or energy conversion research. Graduates move into roles across academia, R&D departments, defense electronics, and semiconductor manufacturing, or lead technical innovation teams in the energy and telecommunications sectors. The depth of expertise you gain opens doors that a bachelor's or master's simply can't.
