13 Electronics PhD Degree Programs

The School of Engineering is devoted to pushing the frontiers of research in applied sciences and to developing new technologies that can advance human wellbeing and environmental sustainability. The School of Engineering’s Ph.D. in Electronic Science and Technology program trains doctoral students in cutting-edge interdisciplinary research and technology and actively recruits top talent from around the world.

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.

Electrical and electronic engineering is one of the widest research fields. There are no sectors in industry or science that could develop without innovative electronic solutions. Investigations during doctoral studies are carried out in the fields, such as ultrasonic measurements and diagnostics in aviation, energy generation and supply systems, and other industrial sectors, applications of electronic solutions in biomedicine, monitoring and control systems for various economic and transportation facilities, including signal processing and imaging.

The students of the branch of study will have acquired comprehensive knowledge and skills required for conducting independent research and other scientific activities in quantum optics and optoelectronics. In accord with individual study plans students concentrate on the topic of their thesis. They can find employment in both fundamental and applied research at universities, research institutes, and industry. The progress in the application of optics in numerous research areas (physics, biology, chemistry, medicine, communications, and robotics) leads to an increase in the range of employment possibilities.

The purpose of the qualification is to develop an engineer with advanced abilities in applying fundamental engineering sciences and/design and synthesis, and related principles independently to specific problems of society at large.
