The PhD in SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY FOR ELECTRONIC AND TELECOMMUNICATION ENGINEERING (STIET), is promoted by the Electrical, Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering and Naval Architecture Department (DITEN) in agreement with the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT).
It is coordinated by Prof. Mario Marchese and divided into three curricula:
- Electromagnetism, Electronics, Telecommunications;
- Interactive Cognitive Environments;
- Computational vision, recognition and machine learning (developed entirely at IIT)
Each student, if foreseen by his / her training plan, will be provided with an access to databases for the development of his / her research, a space within a research laboratory and one (or more, one according to the needs) processing and programming tools so that the research work can be carried out effectively.
STIET has very precise didactic and scientific rules (reported on the PhD website) which are transmitted to the students at the beginning of the PhD Course and are mandatory to be admitted to the next year and, at the end of the PhD, to the final exam. The PhD student is assigned with one or more Tutors, first responsible for the student's learning and scientific activity. At least one of the Tutors must be a university professor or a member of the Teaching Board.
STIET Teaching Board involves carefully selected international experts.
