PhD in Computational Mathematics and Decision Sciences
The Department of Political and Social Sciences participates in the Ph.D in Computational Mathematics and Decision Sciences.
The Ph.D. programme originated in October 2018 thanks to the support of the Department of Mathematics of the University of Pavia, under the aegis of the ‘Departments of Excellence’, as well as the contribution of the ICS (Institue of Computational Sciences) at the University of Lugano (USI).
The Department collaborates in the management and organisation of the Doctorate through the presence of the Director Prof. Silvia Figini, in her capacity as Deputy Coordinator of the Doctorate itself. Thanks to this collaboration, 12 three-year PhD scholarships have been contracted in collaboration with prestigious scientific (IRCCS Mondino), corporate (Generali, Datev, RES, Widech, Sea Vision etc) and institutional (PoliS-Lombardia) entities.
Furthermore, connected to the PhD in Computational Mathematics and Decision Sciences, the ICAM - International Centre of Advanced Computing for Medicine has been set up, where the Department of Political and Social Sciences is involved together with the Departments of Physics (administrative seat), Mathematics, Molecular Medicine, Civil Engineering and Architecture, Industrial and Information Engineering, Clinical, Surgical, Diagnostic and Paediatric Sciences and Nervous System and Behavioural Sciences.
