  • Notes to prepare proposal
    In the curriculum it is important to highlight, as they will be used as evaluation parameters, the following aspects: publications (e.g. International Journals, International Conferences, Chapters of books), grade of Bsc and Msc degree (or equivalent title), work experience and skills acquired. You have to write down a research proposal project that should address Strategic Engineering discipline in specific applications as described in Research Themes. The research project, which should not exceed 10 pages, should identify the motivation, methodology, research objectives, and a preliminary state of the art. The proposed research project will constitute the research topic of the doctoral dissertation. Since the following aspects will be used as evaluation parameters, it is also important to highlight in the presentation of the research project: relevance to the research themes that appear in the call, Originality, Method of execution, Feasibility, Clarity of exposition.

    Research Themes:
    Strategic Engineering, Modeling and Simulation (M&S), Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Intelligent Agents (IA) Strategic Decision Making, Strategic Management, Strategies, Industry, Business, Service of the Society, Govenrment, Defense, Homeland Security, Energy, Food, Telecommunications, Logistics, Supply Chain, Project Management, Programs, Risks, Water Strategies, Climate Change, Green Transition, Industrial Plant, Critical Infrastructures.

    Strategic Engineering is a new field of research that focuses on how to effectively use the most up-to-date techniques in Simulation, Optimization, Data Processing and Artificial Intelligence in decision making with the aim of analyzing complex systems in in view of the need to ensure environmental, social and economic sustainability.

    To be successful in this discipline, it becomes critical to create advanced models that can consider not only the individual component of the system, but also the interaction between all internal subsystems and between them and the external environment and other related elements, in order to develop viable and robust solutions that are able to sustain themselves effectively. PhD students will develop models and experiments building systems employing Big Data analytics, Agent Based stochastic discrete events Simulators integrated with optimization systems employing Machine Learning, Fuzzy Logic & Genetic Algorithms, Crowdsourcing. The goal will be to change the way we think about, design, restructure and manage plants, processes, logistics and transportation in multiple sectors. PhD students will be able to develop research on Strategic Engineering in a network involving a Consortium of Foreign Universities within the international PhD in Strategic Engineering. More details on the specific topics with the indication of the teacher of reference at the following address: www.simulationteam.com/strategos/phd.

    Information on references Applicants should include no less than one and no more than three referees to support the application. These referees must be university professors or experts in the field. They need to send their notes directly to the Coordinator sciomach@economia.unige.it

    Interview Languages will be English
