The students of the first year have attended doctoral and master's courses, scientific and educational seminars, national and international schools.
The Curriculum in Electromagnetism has provided education and training to PhD students in the fields of electromagnetic applications in the frequency spectrum between industrial frequencies and optics; electrophysical sciences and technologies; analysis of materials through the use of acoustic, electromagnetic, electro-optical, nuclear, optical and thermal techniques.
The Mathematics for Engineering curriculum provided courses in various fields of theoretical and applied mathematics, ie in the fields of partial differential equations, algebra, numerical methods, stochastic processes, combinatorics and mathematical physics in connection with new problems in the real world.
The curriculum in Materials Science has provided education and training to students in the field of new advanced materials and nanosciences, in particular on the growth and characterization of materials with peculiar properties and suitable for the most varied applications, ranging from electronics to sensors and devices , from chemical sciences to physical and biological sciences applications.
In addition, first-year students have participated in national and international conferences and worked within research groups and departmental laboratories.
The XXXVI doctoral students continued their training and research activities, as envisaged by the study plan approved by the doctoral board. The PhD students with grants financed by the Lazio Region have started their research activity at the partner companies of the project. Several PhD students have spent research periods abroad. Furthermore, most of the PhD students presented posters and oral contributions at national and international conferences and published articles in international refereed journals.
