The main objective of the PhD program in Chemical Sciences is the training and formation of research doctors, highly qualified in the various advanced fields of the chemical sciences such as innovative chemical processes, microelectronics and intelligent sensors, innovative technologies for the environment protection, micro- and nanotechnologies, new structured and functionalized materials. The program is structured so as to give a sound formation, both theoretical and experimental, and to stimulate and increase the research aptitude of the students.

For this reason, during the three-year course the students carry out research work in the following fields:
  • Materials chemistry;
  • Synthesis and chemical reactivity;
  • Chemical techniques for environmental and industrial control;
  • Chemistry of bio-molecules, macromolecules and organized systems;
  • Methodologies of structural investigation on synthetic and biological molecules.

It is possible to carry out part of the research project in research groups with the foreign Universities with whom we are associated.
In order to gain a deeper theoretical knowledge, as required for high-level research, both on general subjects and specialized research fields, the PhD program provides the students with instruction, which consists in seminars and conferences as well as in attendance in intensive monographic courses on the following subjects:

  • Sensors and biosensors: fundamental aspects and applications;
  • New carbon-based materials: synthetic techniques, structural and functional characterizations and applications;
  • Reactive intermediates in Organic Chemistry: characterization and techniques for studying their reactivity;
  • Organic syntheses through transition metals;
  • New reaction media for innovative chemical processes;
  • Quanto-mechanical methods (Ab initio e semiempirical) in Organic Chemistry;
  • Study of organic reactions by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy;
  • Preparation and application of molecular materials in chemical sensors;
  • Biomimetic oxidative systems;
  • Applications of multidimensional homo- and hetero-nuclear NMR spectroscopy;
  • Predictions of molecular properties starting from known experimental data;
  • Advanced spectroscopic methodologies;
  • Poly-electrolytes. A thermodynamic approach.
