The PhD-ISTI Innovation Day 2025, organized by the Department of Engineering for Industrial Systems and Technologies (DISTI) at the University of Parma, is a scientific outreach event showcasing the latest research by third-year PhD candidates in Industrial Engineering. The event, scheduled for December 9, 2025, at the Centro Sant'Elisabetta, features presentations on a wide array of frontier topics, including materials engineering, energy systems, numerical modeling, environmental sustainability, intelligent systems, and the design of complex products. The agenda highlights research on wave propagation in metamaterials, finite-element modeling for glass units, wettability and capillary action in heat pipes, convective heat transfer, engineered surfaces for hydraulic pumps, thermal management in metal 3D printing, and more. The event aims to bridge academic research and societal challenges, fostering knowledge exchange and public engagement. The day concludes with an award for the best presentation. Attendance is open to the public until capacity is reached. For further details, visit the University of Parma's event page or contact the organizers.
