PHD Physics
Boost your Future
Our PhD-program in Physics aims to train you in applying the scientific approach wherever you are, the problem to face, from the smallest to the largest scale in the Universe. It goes far beyond to become expert in ascientific discipline.
Here you can find a short presentation video of the PhD in Physics, the school and the venue are described by PhD students and Phd Doctors

PHD Research Activity Presentation Initiative (PRAPI)
The research program
Each PhD student may choose a research topic among the very wide set of fields of competences of the DFA members:
Applied Physics, Astrophysics, Biophysics, Cosmology, Gravitational Waves Physics, History of Physics, Multimessenger Astroparticle, Neutrino Physics , Nuclear Physics, Physics at Colliders, Physics Didactics, Physics of Data and of Complex Systems, Physics of Matter, Quantum Technologies, Theoretical Physics.
The PhD candidate will be assigned a supervisor according to the research topic who will supervise her/his research and training activities. PhD-students join research groups and will work in teams including undergraduate students, post-docs, researchers and faculty members. The team-work experience is in fact an important opportunity for the PhD candidate to be involved and committed in international collaborations.
As part of the research activity, candidates are suggested to spend a research period abroad (up to 18 months) also taking advantage of dedicated funds. The final destination can be chosen by the PhD student upon agreement with the supervisor. Periods of permanence abroad will be funded by the PhD-school and/or by the research group. Although not formally required,PhD students are encouraged to publish the results of their research in at least one publication on peer-reviewed journals before the end of the PhD program.
Facilities
Each PhD student has right to an equipped desk in the PhD-students room. A desk, PC and/or a Laptop may also be provided by the research groups. Access to DFA and INFN computing resources are granted upon request. Students involved in experimental activities have access to the DFA laboratories, and/or to the facilities of many national (LNL, LNGS) and international labs (CERN, GANIL, KEK, etc.) collaborating with our research groups. A list of UniPd and DFA Facilities can be found here.
