PhD in Applied Data Science and Artificial Intelligence - Mathematical Biology / Theoretical Biophysics

  • What it is

    Mobility experience with a research focus

  • Who it’s for

    PhD sandwich

Department

Department of Mathematics and Geosciences

Main research activities/topics/projects

The Alberto d’Onofrio group focuses its research on two inter-related areas at the interface between applied mathematics, statistical physics and computer science: 1)  Mathematical Biology / Theoretical Biophysics (in particular: population dynamics and epidemiology of infectious diseases); 2) Machine Learning applied to Biomedicine and to Quantum Mechanics. In particular, the lab head, dr Alberto d’Onofrio, is one of the pioneers of modeling the role of human behavior and vaccine hesitancy during epidemics, as well as in the more theoretical field of bounded stochastic processes. Keywords: behavioral epidemiology, mathematical oncology, nonlinear deterministic  dynamical systems,  bounded stochastic processes, phase transitions, chaos, machine learning

Working language

English 

Special entry requirements

Love for mathematical modelling and physics. Good computer skills are important but not mandatory.

Duration in months (min-max)
