The DAUSY faculty boast top researchers in autonomous systems from 38 Italian universities and one national research center, as well as 19 foreign prestigious universities around the world.
The strategic goal of DAUSY is to establish a doctoral school with critical mass and quality that will systematize the expertise distributed throughout the country on autonomous systems and allow doctoral students from Italy and worldwide (since the entire doctoral program is in English) to specialize in autonomous systems, comparing themselves with leading experts in the field in the Italian and international areas and grasping the digital transition challenge for technology transfer to the country’s most important industrial sectors and public administrations.
DAUSY will provide a rigorous research training thanks to a wide teaching course catalogue (http://dausy.poliba.it/phd/teaching-course-catalogue/) and will prepare PhD students to become versatile and knowledgeable professionals, with the broad field of automation engineering as a major focus, in connection to theoretical and applied mechanics, optimization, communication, information theory, machine learning, computing, mathematics, and signal processing. DAUSY Ph.D. graduates will be capable of conducting high-quality original research, creating new knowledge, deriving valuable insights, and making tangible impacts on academia and the field.
Applications are currently open for the first 35 positions. Instructions to apply are available here: http://dausy.poliba.it/phd/application/. The deadline for applications is September 5th, 2022, 9:00 am CEST.
