Courses borrowed from MSc programs
To reduce any incoming educational debts, students of the PhD program are advised to follow courses borrowed from Master of Science programs, primarily among those offered by the University of Genova.
In particular, students of the Electrical Engineering Curriculum, in the presence of basic training gaps, are advised to follow targeted courses of the Master of Science in Electrical Engineering
In the presence of basic training gaps, PhD students of the Complex Systems for Mobility Curriculum are advised to follow targeted courses of the Master of Science in Naval Engineering , of the Master of Science in Maritime and Port Economics and Management and of the Master of Science in Management Engineering
National and International PhD Schools
PhD students are strongly advised to participate in the National and International PhD Schools, which are organized periodically, with variable dates from year to year, in the different research fields. Here are the links to some of the schools recommended to PhD students in 2020:
European PhD School: Power Electronics, Electrical Machines, Energy Control and Power Systems
National School of Electrical Engineering “Ferdinando Gasparini”
PhD Summer School Mont-Soleil: Field-Based Insight into the Implementation of Renewable
Seminarial Activities
Seminars, courses, conferences, workshops deemed of interest in the various disciplinary areas are continuously reported by the Coordinator to the PhD students.
Linguistic and IT improvement activities
The scientific dissemination activity related to the Phd Course is carried out almost exclusively in English. In almost all cases, the Tutors offer PhD students to participate in International Conferences, also for the dissemination of the results of their research, and / or internships abroad at qualified universities or research centers. Seminar courses and workshops dedicated to the practical knowledge of the English language and for writing international scientific articles are recommended
Foreign students are advised to attend Italian courses for greater integration into the Italian society
Ad hoc courses are provided for learning specific calculation tools and data acquisition and measurements, such as the following:
Advanced MATLAB and Simulink programming
Basic course Ansi C and Labwindows CVI
Labview programming course
Advanced programming course for FPGA application
In addition, each Tutor always provides for the IT improvement of his Phd students, by making available the calculation tools used in his research laboratory.
Furthermore, seminars, courses, conferences, workshops deemed of interest in this area are continuously reported by the Coordinator to the PhD students.
Research and intellectual property enhancement activities
PhD students will be provided with information and insights on the issue of access to research funding, with particular reference to the methods for presenting international and national research projects, for evaluating research proposals and methods for carrying out projects and for dissemination and exploitation of results. For example, some of the aspects mentioned are dealt with in the ad hoc course
Access to funding for research and technology transfer
Furthermore, seminars, courses, conferences, workshops deemed of interest in this area are continuously reported by the Coordinator to the PhD students, with particular reference to the dissemination of information to enhance their research activities in International Conferences and Journals. University and external skills will also be used to provide PhD students with guidelines for the establishment and enhancement of university spin-offs.
