XXXV CYCLE: all 12 enrolled doctoral candidates submitted their research projects and methodological plan for the following years, according to the indications received from their tutors, and were therefore admitted to the second year. In the annual reports of each candidate, kept by the College and the individual tutors, there are the progress achieved and the research contributions published and in progress. All educational activities proposed by doctoral candidates were approved, as were requests for the use of operating and research funds. No requests for suspension or waiver (of the grant or studies) were received.
XXXV CYCLE: All 14 doctoral students have completed the activities planned for the second year and reached the level of maturity necessary to continue their path toward the dissertation in the third year. 6 of the 14 submitted a request to extend the duration of the course by three months, in accordance with the requirements, subject to verification of budget availability for holders of funded grants. All requests were granted. In the annual reports of the individual candidates, kept by the College and the individual tutors, there are the progress achieved and the research contributions published and in progress. All educational activities proposed by doctoral candidates have been approved, as have requests for the use of operating and research funds. No requests for suspension or waiver (of the grant or studies) were received.
XXXIV CYCLE: three doctoral students have completed the course and discussed their thesis on 11/01/2022 in accordance with the path defined by the Regulations, namely:
- Ilaria Conforti. Wearable sensors for human kinematics and kinetics assessment: Ergonomics, Clinical and Rehabilitation applications (ING-IND/12 - prof. Franco Zaccaria Del Prete)
- Michela Franzò. Medical device nomenclatures as a basis to classify medical devices in registries: development of a methodology to compare different nomenclatures in order to interconnect registries and support the organization of internationally shared databases (ING-IND/34 - prof. Franco Marinozzi)
- Elena Quatrini. Condition-based maintenance of time-varying production processes: evolution towards data-driven and unsupervised approaches (ING-IND/17 - prof. Francesco Costantino)
One PhD student, Luciano Macera (ING-IND/16 - prof. Alberto Boschetto) asked for a suspension period of one year, starting from 31/05/2022.
The two remaining PhD students (cycle XXXIII) who had already benefited from a suspension period of 12 months (Ramundo and Nechita Cozma), have withdrawn from the course.
