We are glad to announce that the University of Pisa has launched a new interdisciplinary industrial PhD program in High-Performance Scientific Computing (HPSC) with 4 fully funded positions open for applications (EU and non-EU), starting November 2025.

This innovative doctoral program is designed in collaboration with the medical technology company Sordina IORT Technologies, and brings together 8 university departments and several national research institutes. It focuses on the development of advanced computational methods and HPC-based solutions for complex problems in science, engineering, and medicine.

Specific research topics for the funded scholarships include:
 - Iterative Methods and Preconditioners for Sparse Linear Systems on Pre-Exascale and Exascale Architectures
 - HPC Software for Design and Analysis of Electronic Devices using Advanced Materials and AI/ML
 - Computational Models for Flash Radiotherapy and Radiobiological Applications (2 positions)
 - Reduced-Precision and Matrix Units on AI GPUs for Efficient Solution of the Wave Equation

The program offers a unique interdisciplinary environment where PhD candidates will develop expertise in:
 - Numerical algorithms and scientific computing
 - HPC architectures and parallel programming
 - AI/ML techniques applied to physical and biomedical systems
 - Application domains such as climate modeling, advanced materials, and smart medical technologies
 
This is an industrial PhD: selected candidates will have the opportunity to work closely with Sordina IORT Technologies on translational research projects in medical computing and radiotherapy, ensuring both academic excellence and real-world impact.

Application deadline: July 18, 2025
