The EECE Ph.D. programme aims at training highly qualified researchers and experts in the general field of electrical, electronics, and communications engineering. Our Ph.D. candidates acquire those fundamental skills that are necessary to carry out theoretical and experimental research, both in highly specialized technical disciplines and in a broader multidisciplinary setting. Ph.D. graduated are expected to become active players in scientific and technical innovation in academia, industry, or research institutions.

This Ph.D. is the largest Ph.D. programme at Politecnico di Torino. The research topics of interest include but are not limited to the broad set of IEEE disciplines. The EECE programme formally includes two curricula:

General: covers most disciplines in the general fields of Electronics, Electromagnetic Fields, Communications and Computer Networks, Electrical Engineering and Power Systems, Automation and Robotics, and Mechatronics. For a detailed list click here.
Electron devices (INFN): specializes in research and developments of high-performance electronic devices and components supporting large experiments on fundamental matter physics; this curriculum is conducted in collaboration with the National Institute of Nuclear Physics.

The Academic Board managing this doctorate includes about fifty highly qualified Professors and Researchers belonging to four departments of Politecnico:

Department of Electronics and Telecommunications (DET)
Department of Energy (DENERG)
Department of Applied Science and Technology (DISAT)
Department of Control and Computer Engineering (DAUIN)

to the Torino section of INFN and to the National Research Council (CNR). Most of these board members are well-known personalities in their respective research fields, including several IEEE Fellows, Editors of prestigious international journals, and Chairs of leading technical conferences.

Ph.D. candidates are involved in several activities since their first day

Research: research topics and objectives are defined right after enrolment in accordance with the supervisor, so that the activities can be focused on a specific target throughout the three-year program.
Training: an extremely rich catalog of courses is available, leaving much freedom to the Ph.D. candidates to choose the courses of interest. Doctoral-level courses allow to strengthen existing technical competencies, to be exposed to activities of other research groups, to develop soft skills, and are an occasion to network with peers.
Interaction: developing relationships and exchanging knowledge are considered essential assets for scientific and professional growth. Therefore, Ph.D. candidates are expected to closely collaborate with peers and faculty, not only within their research group and Department but also especially with national/international research communities. A secondment period at a partner (academic or private) institution is encouraged as a valuable opportunity.
Projects: most EECE scholarships are funded by public institutions and especially private companies investing in dedicated research programs, available through supervisors and research groups. To strengthen the link with industry, EECE strongly encourages "industrial Ph.D. programmes” conducted in close partnership with private companies.
Publications and traveling: the final objective of any research is to enable third parties to take advantage of the results. A fundamental step is the publication of these results in international journals and at leading conferences. The former provides the largest impact and archival value, the latter provides excellent networking opportunities. Each EECE Ph.D. candidate produces on average more than three journal publications during the Ph.D. programme.
