Applications are open for the PhD in Statistics and Computer Science at Bocconi University (Milan, Italy). This fully funded four-year program offers an interdisciplinary environment connecting statistics, computer science, and data-driven modeling.

Research in neuroscience at Bocconi combines theoretical modeling, drawing from physics and machine learning, with the analysis of experimental data to study how the brain processes information, learns, and remembers. Current projects focus on visual processing and learning mechanisms, in collaboration with experimental groups worldwide.

The program is part of a vibrant research community spanning the physics of complex systems and computation, applied AI, and the foundations of machine learning, fostering rich cross-disciplinary exchange. Bocconi University is located in the center of Milan, an international city known for its active research community, cultural life, and quality of living.

Further information on faculty and research areas is available on the Department of Computing Sciences website.
Program details and application instructions can be found on the PhD program webpage.
