The main goals of the PhD Program in Physics are aimed at encouraging students to develop an autonomous capacity for scientific research, in order to acquire a high level of professional training in all disciplinary area in which physics research is required, for an attractive high-profile placement into the working world.
Therefore, the more specific activities of the PhD aim at training professional figures capable of developing, even in groups, fundamental and applied research activities with the following purposes:
- Advanced knowledge in the field of the physics of matter with regard to theoretical, computational and experimental aspects;
- Advanced knowledge in the field of nuclear and subnuclear physics, with regard to theoretical and experimental aspects;
- Advanced knowledge in the field of physics applied to cultural and environmental heritage, biology and medicine;
- Advanced knowledge in the field of geophysics and geodynamics with regard to the use of physical methodologies, modeling, risks and regulations.
The training offer, so targeted, consists of an initial period dedicated to the attendance of advanced courses on research topics carried out within the Department of Mathematical and Computer Sciences, Physical Sciences and Earth Sciences (MIFT) in which the doctoral course is based, which see the synergic collaboration with researchers from other national and international universities/research institutions and in a next phase focused on the research activity of the PhD student in a specific scientific area.
