PHD courses
 

In general partners have an established structure of Courses, adapted for their PhD programs. It is important to develop some common didactic materials and units that can be used by the partners for their courses as well to prepare e-learning courses that will improve the quality of PhD students preparation taking into account the specific partners competencies.

Another important step to have real and effective research collaboration of PhD students and researchers of partners institutions are the periodic Summer/Winter schools, where

  • specific mini - courses will be presented;
  • workshops, where young researchers and especially PhD students can report and discuss their results

Next, we present the information for the existing PhD Courses in different partners institutions.

Upsala University, Center for Interdisciplinary Mathematics (CIM)

Applied mathematics courses equip the student with knowledge of mathematical modeling and the tools and techniques needed to understand systems that display non-linear, stochastic, chaotic or complex behavior. These tools are applicable in diverse contexts, including physics, biology and economy.
Typical courses are: Dynamical systems and ordinary differential equations, Partial Differential Equations , Mathematical biology (The use of mathematical models in biology, ecology and evolution. Modeling tools include several variable calculus, ordinary and partial differential equations, and stochastic modeling).

The list of courses for PhD students can be found in the page

University of Nottingham, School of Mathematical Sciences, Center for Mathematical Medicine and Biology (CMMB)
Typical courses to prepare PhD students are: Applied Nonlinear Dynamics, Computational and Systems Biology, Mathematical Medicine and Biology, Practical Biomedical Modeling, Topics in Biomedical Mathematics, Mathematical Medicine and Biology, Scientific Computation
University of Pisa , Department of Mathematics

The Department of Mathematics, University of Pisa had in the past tradition in applied Mathematics, but the interest to develop mathematical models in Biology and Medicine is relatively new phenomena, very strongly supported and encouraged by students and some young researchers.

Specific courses for MsC Degree students and PhD students in Mathematics or Biology in Pisa are:

  • Mathematical Models in Biomedicine and mathematical physics ( with separated modules Mathematical Models in Biomedicine and Mathematical Models in Physics) (Lecturers: P.Cerrai, R. Giuliano, P.Acquistapace, V. Georgiev)
  • Mathematical Models in Biology (lecturer: P.Cerrai)

Some other courses useful for the PhD progam:
