Computer Science and Automation

The PhD program aims to provide students with a solid competence and with a correct methodology for performing scientific research in Computer Science and Automation. The PhD students will acquire deep knowledge of a research topic of interest for the School of Computer Science and Automation of the Engineering Department. A list of possible topics includes, but is not limited to, databases and information systems, computer networks, computer-aided design, artificial intelligence, robotics, automation and industrial organization, modeling and emulation of interdependent systems and critical infrastructures, and information visualization. Together with the in-depth study of a specific research topic, the PhD program has the objective of providing the students with a wide, rigorous, and scientifically profound preparation in all the main topics of Computer Science and Automation. This will enable the students to transfer their practical and technical knowledge to the job market, even outside academia. The PhD program spans three years. Each student is guided by a PhD advisor, who is selected among the Faculty of the Engineering Department of Roma Tre University. During the PhD program, each student can spend some time, usually 6 months, visiting an international research center or university.
