Overview

The Master’s degree aims at training engineers with the ability to model, analyze and control the behavior of a wide array of robotics, industrial, financial, biological and information systems and networks. Particular emphasis is placed on learning and design methods that employ the best available data analysis, artificial intelligence and optimization methods.

Programme structure

The programme offers four paths that focus on different aspects of contemporary control system engineering, as well as the opportunity to create your own:
1 – Robotics: models and control techniques for single or groups of interacting cyber-systems;
2 – Machine Learning: artificial intelligence and statistical methods for automatic learning dynamical models and the optimal ways to control them;
3 – Industrial Automation: methods and technologies used in state-of-the-art industrial automation systems;
4 – Complex Systems: advanced modeling and control techniques for engineering and research in complex physical, biological and information processing systems.

Career opportunities

Graduates work as professionals in industries with a highly technological profile, or in environments that require skills in modeling, analyzing and governing complex and networked systems, such as consulting companies, research centers and public administration. The acquired skills are designed to be portable and easily adaptable to the quickly evolving job market.
