Since year 2002-2003, SISSA has started a PhD program in Applied Mathematics, separated from the Functional Analysis curriculum and focused on the following three topics:

• Mathematical Control Theory
  Optimal Control
  Control of hydrodynamical systems
  Quantum Control
  
• Mechanics of Materials
• Multiscale Analysis

Admission

The standard channel for admission is through the selection procedures described in detail in the web page of the School or of the Functional Analysis Sector. There you also find a comprehensive list of courses provided by the Sector.

Our group is also involved in the EU-funded Multi-partner Marie Curie Control Training Site. Prospective graduate students interested in Systems and Control, from all European Countries, are welcome to contact the organizers for information.
