Dottorato in Matematica per le Scienze dell'Ingegneria

Graduate school in Mathematics for Engineering Sciences

We offer a graduate programme in pure and applied mathematics with particular emphasis on research topics that exhibit a relevant interplay with theoretical engineering, computer science, biology, or economics.

In the last years the world has witnessed a fruitful exchange among sciences that have remained apart for too long a time; engineering, biology and computer science are an instance of such non-classical interplay. This fact has endowed mathematics with a totally new role: while for centuries mathematics tended to develop side by side with physics only, it now faces the birth of completely new problems, and is nowadays thus confronted with the urge of developing new tools.

The new scientific and technological scenarios often involve large-scale data models, highly interconnected systems for which the theoretical, computational, and numerical issues cannot in general be adequately addressed by standard techniques alone. Applications of this sort require mathematics to go much beyond the traditional areas of ‘applied mathematics’; they need a strong contribution by pure mathematics as well. Goal of this graduate school is to give students the technical skills to cope with these emerging scientific and technological paradigmatic shifts.
