International Summer School on Physical Sensing and Processing
This International School is aimed to give a general overview of the basic concepts which are involved in this entire process from the physical sensing to the processing of complex and big data. In addition, many lectures will be dedicated to advanced examples in different fields, e.g. photodetectors, magnetic sensors, environmental and biomedical applications, quantum information.

- Course overview
- This International School is aimed to give a general overview of the basic concepts which are involved in this entire process from the physical sensing to the processing of complex and big data. In addition many lectures will be dedicated to advanced examples in different fields, e.g. photodetectors, magnetic sensors, environmental and biomedical applications, quantum information. Two practical activities, on detection and processing, will complement the theoretical part. Cooperative activities are planned to support the creative thinking of the content of the school and the development of transversal, soft and social skills. The school program includes also a mini-workshop with several Companies working in the fields of Physical Sensing and Processing. The School is addressed at Master, PhD students, early-career scientists and is open also to undergraduate students. All the participants are encouraged to present a poster of their activity and/or of some topic of their interest. The School is organized in collaboration with the Brown and Columbia Universities and the lessons are held by high level international speakers. The official language is English.
