The PhD in SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY FOR ELECTRONIC AND TELECOMMUNICATION ENGINEERING (STIET), is promoted by the Electrical, Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering and Naval Architecture Department (DITEN) in agreement with the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT).
Ph.D. STIET Course is coordinated by Prof. Maurizio Valle and it is organized into two curriculum:

  • Electromagnetism, Electronics, Telecommunications;
  • Computational vision, recognition and machine learning (developed entirely at IIT).

Each student, if foreseen by his / her training plan, will be provided with an access to databases for the development of his / her research, a space within a research laboratory and one (or more, one according to the needs) processing and programming tools so that the research work can be carried out effectively.STIET has very precise didactic and scientific rules (reported on the PhD website) which are transmitted to the students at the beginning of the PhD Course and are mandatory to be admitted to the next year and, at the end of the PhD, to the final exam. The PhD student is assigned with one or more Tutors, first responsible for the student's learning and scientific activity. At least one of the Tutors must be a university professor or a member of the Teaching Board.
STIET Teaching Board involves carefully selected international experts.

VENUE
Capri is widely known for its breathtaking natural beauties, its historical and cultural heritage, and its lively environment, with elegant hotels and luxury shops mixed with typical narrow streets and colorful houses in Mediterranean style. For all these reasons, Capri attracts many visitors from all over the world in all seasons of the year.
Capri can be reached in about 45 minutes from Naples, the largest city in southern Italy, by speedboat. A few kilometers south of Naples lie the Pompei ruins, and further south the Sorrento and Amalfi coast.

Dear students,

The Polytechnic School of Milan will organize a PhD course entitled "Organic electronics: principles, devices, and applications" from the 15th to the 19th of April 2024.

The course will last 25 hours (8 credits). More information can be found here. Enrollments are open until the 31st of March 2024. In-presence participation is preferable, though lectures will be held also for remote attendees. 

It follows the syllabus and general information about the course. For further information, you can contact Prof. Dario Natali at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Organic semiconductors are both a subject of advanced research worldwide and have already shown to offer interesting opportunities in the realization of new products of high innovative content.
The interest in organic semiconductors stems not only from their intriguing optoelectronic properties –which can be chemically tailored- but also from their chemical and physical peculiarities, such as the mechanical flexibility, solubility, processability at almost room temperature and on virtually arbitrary substrates, compatibility with large area coverage. Most notably, thanks to the solution processability, organic semiconductors can be processed as functional inks and dispensed by means of techniques adapted from the graphic arts, such as flexography, gravure, screen-, aersol- and inkjet- printing. All these features offer a stimulating environment for applications that can be hardly addressed by means of conventional inorganic semiconductors (large-area imagers and displays, thin-film sensors, flexible optoelectronics systems, biocompatible/disposable electronics).
The course aims at providing the scientific and technological background of this emerging field. The state of the art concerning both research findings and industrial realizations will be presented, as detailed in the following.

The course will firstly illustrate the chemistry of organic semiconductors (hints to their synthesis, chemical tailoring, structure-property relationships), and their physical and electronic properties, such as charge carrier (photo-)generation and transport, charge carrier injection, excited states, thermoelectric properties (8 hours). Then the working principles and architectures of organic devices, such as (light-emitting) diodes, thin film transistors, photodetectors, memories, photovoltaic cells, thermoelectric elements, lasers will be illustrated (8 hours). Technologies for device fabrication, with emphasis on scalable techniques (such as those adapted from graphical arts such as screen printing, inkjet printing, flexography, gravure etc.), will be presented and compared; issues and solutions related to device lifetime will be discussed (2 hours). Then the course will address advanced applications of organic electronics: digital and analog circuits, optoelectronic systems, detection of ionizing radiation, organic bioelectronics, organic neuromorphics   (7 hours).

The course will give to the participants a critical assessment of the development so far, of actual bottlenecks and future opportunities for organic and printed electronics.
