Ingegneria dei Sistemi e delle Infrastrutture per l'Ambiente, la Mobilità e il Territorio - Systems and Infrastructure Engineering for the Environment, Mobility and the Territory

Presentation

Starting with the Academic Year 2023/2024, the Department of Civil Engineering (DICIV) offers a PhD course in “Systems and Infrastructure Engineering for the Environment, Mobility and the Territory / Ingegneria dei Sistemi e delle Infrastrutture per l'Ambiente, la Mobilità e il Territorio” (EMT).

The aim of this PhD course is to cover complex issues of advanced Civil and Environmental Engineering included in the “Research” and “Societal Challenges” of the Horizon Europe programme funded by the European Union. The courses have a marked multidisciplinary imprint, with the disciplinary sectors mentioned below coming together to develop high-quality research ranging across the CUN 08 Area. The course provides the expertise needed to carry out highly qualified research activities in both public and private bodies, by contributing to the creation of the European Higher Education Area and the European Research Area.

The research activities of the PhD Course in Systems and Infrastructure Engineering for the Environment, Mobility and the Territory cover advanced topics of the scientific areas of applied physics, hydraulics, hydraulic and marine constructions and hydrology, sanitary and environmental engineering, highways, railways and airports, transportation, geotechnics, urban and regional planning, physical geography and geomorphology.

Such activities involve the study of natural phenomena and anthropic activities whose effects can lead to negative and significant impacts on the environment and/or territory, and the design of innovative solutions aimed at mitigating these impacts and protecting the environment, as well as at building smart, safe, and liveable communities, through the planning, design, operation, and maintenance of transportation systems. These areas of study have potential applications including designing and managing monitoring systems, and identifying and controlling useful mitigation measures and environmental hazards for the territory and for the local population. More generally, these impacts are embodied in technical-engineering solutions that allow for the optimal use of natural resources, territory, and defense, and can favor the protection and improvement of the peculiar characteristics of the hydraulic, environmental, transportation, and geotechnics systems.

Professional and work opportunities

The high level of professional expertise achieved through the above PhD course offers professional opportunities in the following areas:

• research institutes in the public and private sectors that require a solid educational grounding;
• public sector authorities and bodies that require professional expertise in order to perform the analysis and management of hydrogeological, transport, territorial and environmental risks;
• professions and consulting firms where a higher level of performance resulting from advances in knowledge and regulations has led to the need for new, high-level skills.
