• Objectives of the program:

The programs aims at training students to getting a deep knowledge of the theoretical features of a mathematical subject and to developing a qualified preparation to apply mathematical models in a diversified range of scientific areas.



• Research topics:


• Algebra: (theory of groups and of the representations, commutative algebra and applications)
• Geometry (Riemannian, complex and algebraic)
• Partial differential equations with applications 
• Continuum mechanics
• Dynamical systems (deterministic and stochastic)
• Stochastic processes with applications to biology, physics and finance
• Numerical analysis of dynamical systems and numerical methods for partial differential equations
• Atomistic modelling and simulations of Molecules, Materials, and Biological Systems
• Development of Scientific Software for High-Performance Computing

The doctorate is one of the programmes of the INdAM-DP-COFUND-2015.




• Educational program:

We offer a variety of research-related courses as well as introductory level courses that help first-year students strengthen their mathematical backgrounds.

At the beginning of every academic year, in agreement with their tutor, students present a study plan to the doctorate council, where they specify their research and training plan for the incoming year. In the three years of the program, students are expected to attend the seminars offered by the school and to take part in research internships in institutions both in and outside Italy.
At the end of the first and the second academic year, the students are interviewed about the studies and research they have carried out during the year in front of a committee appointed by the doctorate council. Successfully passing this interview means that the students are admitted to the following year. At the interview, the students will present a report on their scholarly activity, the outcome of their research, seminars, congresses, or other scientific activities they have participated in, and any publications they have produced. For admission into the final year, this report will include a section relating to the progress made in their research project.

The program is in strict collaboration with the international Ph.D. school Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI, L'Aquila) and the students will have the opportunity to attend all the activities held at the GSSI. Our graduate students also benefit from our close links with The International Research Center of Mathematics and Mechanics of Complex Systems.






• Laboratories and Databases:

The students have access to a wide variety of computing equipment in the DISIM department. They have access to various scientific laboratories among which we mention the Hight Performance Parallel Computing (HPPC) with the supercalculator Caliban, with a computing power of about 2.5 teraflops. They also have access to databases as arXiv, ALL, EBSCO, DOAJ, virtual Emeroteca Caspur, JCR, JSTOR, AMS/MathSciNet, Numdam, PUBMET, Science Direct, Scopus, Springer Link, WILEY on line library, ISI, WOS.
