The studentswill be educated in a stimulating and multidisciplinary environment,both through high level courses and through a demanding, creative andoriginal research work. Doctoral research projects will be carried on invery well equipped, state-of-the-art laboratories (in such fields asbio-robotics, micro- and nano-technology, biomimetics, prosthetics) andthrough personal and team work performed under the supervision of acommitted full-time faculty.
The students will investigate how biological systems work from anengineering viewpoint, and will make use of such knowledge to pursuechallenging research projects aimed at modeling, designing and buildingnovel components and systems for biomedical applications, such assurgery and rehabilitation. The accomplishments of the students will beassessed by the number of papers published in peer reviewedinternational journals and by the number of patents filed.
