PhD Theses

NEW PhD position for the period 2014-2016 in the topic

Microscopic modeling and simulation of electronic-transport and optical properties of graphene-based materials and related nanodevices


The deadline for applying for 2014 positions is November 11, 2013. We encourage motivated students to contact us. Please notice that the application procedure for the PhD position follows the general rules of the open Call by SCUDO (the Doctorate School of the Politecnico di Torino); the Call is usually announced in August every year for PhD positions to start in January of the following year (e.g. August 2012 for a 3-year PhD position to start on January 2013). Details can be found at http://dottorato.polito.it/index_en.html. The PhD Topic Area to be indicated in the application form is “Theory and Simulation of Quantum Processes in Nanomaterials and Nanodevices” (see http://dottorato.polito.it//tematiche_en.html, Physics of Matter -> Physics -> Macroarea 4 (=”Nanophysics and Quantum Systems”)
