The PhD program in Design, Modeling, and Simulation in Engineering aims at training doctoral students with strong scientific and/or professional capabilities on Computational Mechanics and Engineering of Materials, and, in general, on Civil and Industrial Engineering as well as Applied Mathematics. The key areas of study include all aspects of modeling and simulation of structures and materials, ranging from structural engineering to biomedical fields.

The main strength of the PhD Programme is the strong international characterization, together with the strong partnerships with world’s top research centers in the Computational Mechanics field.

The PhD programme in Design, Modeling, and Simulation in Engineering is regulated by the following rules and is organized in two curricula:

  • COMPUTATIONAL MECHANICS
  • CIVIL ENGINEERING and ARCHITECTURE

resulting in four tracks:

  1. Computational Mechanics
  2. Structures and Materials
  3. Hydraulic, Environment, and Energy Engineering
  4. Building Engineering and Architecture
