It is called COMPETE - – "COMPutationally empowered Electromagnetic industrial TalEnts". the initiative which, thanks to funding as a European Industrial Doctoral, will give five young researchers the opportunity to develop, through training, an individual research project at the Doctoral School of the Politecnico di Torino, under the joint supervision of the University and the industrial partner Thales initiative, a multinational group operating inhigh technology for the aerospace, transport, defence and cybersecurity sectors.
The individual project of each researcher will bemultidisciplinary: it will include elements of advanced electromagnetic engineering, applied mathematics and high-performance computational systems that, with dual cross-sectoral supervision, will generate results that will have an impact not only on the scientific and industrial community of computational electromagnetics but also on the wider scientific community. In this particular industrial sector, in fact, multiscale and wide-ranging simulations and computational modelling techniques are of fundamental importance for cutting-edge applications: in this perspective, the project will develop new industrial-grade, modelling and numerical prediction technologies to meet the challenges of innovative design.
"We are very pleased with the support that the European Union has decided to give our project: it will be an important opportunity for the young researchers involved, who will be able to do research in close collaboration with a large multinational company with the constant scientific support and the polytechnic tradition of a great engineering school like ours," says Francesco Andriulli, project coordinator and lecturer at the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications of the Politecnico di Torino.
