PhD Opportunities in Materials Engineering in Italy

This PhD project at Politecnico di Torino focuses on using advanced AI to improve how industrial catalytic systems are explored and optimized. The work addresses a key challenge in sustainable chemical and energy production: traditional experimentation is often slow and costly when many variables and competing objectives must be considered at once. The candidate will develop and apply Sequential Learning and agent-based methods to guide experimentation in complex design spaces. The aim is to acc...

Politecnico di Torino is offering a PhD position in reconfigurable elastic metamaterials within the Department of Applied Science and Technology. The project is set in the broad area of wave propagation in architected media, with a strong focus on how external stimuli, deformation, flows, and intrinsic nonlinearities can be exploited to tailor the behaviour of elastic and acoustic waves. The research aims to understand and control phenomena such as dispersion, localization, transmission, mode co...
