The PhD program is based in the Department of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Geosciences (MIGe), which is divided into the sections of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Geosciences, making it a natural extension of the research activities in the Mathematics and Geosciences sections. The PhD program also includes members from the Department of Engineering and Architecture (DIA), researchers from the ICTP (International Centre for Theoretical Physics), particularly experts in Earth System Physics, and members from the OGS (National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics).
The advisory board is composed by 35 members and they cover all the disciplines of earth sciences and fluido dynamics and almost all the discipline of mathematics. The expertises of the Academic board include: Climate dynamics and modeling; Planetary and environmental large scale flows; Biogeochemical cycles and ecosystem dynamics: models, computational methods and applications; Exploration Geophysics; Rock physics and computational geophysics; Lithosphere structure; earthquakes and geophysical geologic mapping; Sedimentary record of earth evolution and geological hazards; Mineralogy and petrology; Fluid mechanics in biological and technological systems; Mathematical methods and modeling in fluid mechanics; Partial differential equations; Computational mathematics; Computational and data-based modelling; Algebraic and Differential Geometry, Low-Dimensional Topology, and their applications.
