Course contents

The PhD Programme aims to train researchers with a thorough scientific preparation in the methodological foundations (informatics, mathematics, statistics) of data science and artificial intelligence, as well as their applications in various domains. The reference application areas include medicine and life sciences, industry 4.0, society and economics, data-driven science, with particular attention to their impact on the territory and society. The training in the first year includes education on the fundamentals and applications of data science and AI, including some ethical and legal aspects, as well as courses on organizational aspects of research and analysis of the state of the art. PhD students will be made aware of the principles of research reproducibility and FAIR data. The education will be personalized based on the student's previous study plan and the research topic pursued by the doctoral candidate. In the second and third years, scientific activity will be developed, potentially including a period of stay at internationally relevant research institutions. Common aspects of the training include a multidisciplinary theoretical-experimental approach, which is a qualifying aspect of both research and interaction with the territory and the productive world. PhD students will be given the opportunity to develop their communication skills: specific courses will be offered and their participation in educational and dissemination activities will be encouraged, both in scientific conferences/workshops and in public events. The main training goal is to prepare professionals in theoretical and applied research at an excellent level on the international stage.

Employment opportunities

ADSAI PhD Graduates can pursue an academic path in research and teaching in the disciplines of the PhD Programme (statistics, computer science, mathematics). More generally, they can contribute with the tools of data science and artificial intelligence in research areas where they can be relevant. Their attention to practical aspects, also in close connection with public and private bodies operating in these areas, will enable PhD graduates to leverage the tools of data science and artificial intelligence in operational contexts within public or private organizations: companies, research institutions, public administrations. The close connection with numerous local institutions and companies is likely to promote the integration of PhD graduates into operational environments, both through numerous themed scholarships co-financed by companies and institutions and through their collaboration on educational projects.
