Advanced-Systems Engineering

Advanced-Systems Engineering at Free University of Bozen-Bolzano trains a new generation of researchers able to carry out independent
research in the areas of Advanced-Systems Engineering and give them the
opportunity to transfer and exchange knowledge with national and
international research centers and industries.

Advanced-Systems Engineering at Free University of Bozen-Bolzano focuses on the study and development of advanced and intelligent systems through an interdisciplinary approach that responds to recent technological developments (e.g., Cyber-Physical-Systems, Industry 4.0, Internet of Things) by integrating the disciplines of mechanical engineering, manufacturing engineering, information engineering and computer science. They are supported by specific skills in mathematics and artificial intelligence.
