Welcome to the PhD web

Many young researchers in our group come from the PhD? Course in Nonlinear Dynamics and Complex Systems.

The PhD course in Nonlinear Dynamics and Complex Systems furnishes an interdisciplinary preparation to young researchers (Italian and from other countries) coming from studies in Physics, Mathematics, Engineering (all disciplines), Biology, Psychology. This is our present sampling, it may extend to other fields.

It is coordinated by Prof. Roberto Genesio and is administered by the department of Systems and Computer Science.
