Despite the simplicity of this definition, the theoretical properties of networks are extremely rich and diversified. Most notably, networks turn out to be extremely flexible in modeling a wide variety of phenomena characterized by a large number of interconnected elementary units: social networks, the Internet and the WWW, sensor networks, ecological communities, biochemical systems, energy transportation networks, economic and financial networks, are just but a few examples. The course is part of the teaching activities organized by the PhD Program in Information Technology at Politecnico di Milano, yet it is not only addressed to PhD students, but to all researchers working in any areas of science and engineering and interested in the theory and applications of complex networks. The aim is to illustrate the fundamental theoretical notions as well as a number of applications in specific fields. The basic definitions, a few useful indicators, and the most important network models are first introduced ("structure"). Then, dynamical systems interacting through the network will be considered, to illustrate how phenomena such as epidemic/information diffusion or large-scale consensus and synchronization can be dealt with ("dynamics").

The PhD position is available in the Multiscale Engineering Fluid Dynamics group lead by Prof.dr.ir. E.H. van Brummelen. This group is part of the department of Mechanical Engineering as well as the Centre for Analysis, Scientific computing and Applications (CASA) in the department of Mathematics and Computer Science. The PhD project focuses on the development of a reliable and versatile numerical tool for the simulation of hydraulic fracturing. In hydraulic fracturing the narrow shale layers deep below the earth surface are perforated to retrieve natural gas. The fractures are characterized by a complex geometry and topology . Recent advancements in computational fracture mechanics have indicated that phase-field models can be used to mimic such fractures. The goal of this project is to develop a phase-field model to describe the hydraulic fracturing process. The development of a numerical strategy to robustly solve this model is an important goal in the project. The position is funded for four years. Candidates must have an MSc degree in engineering, applied mathematics, computational science, physics or equivalent, and have a strong interest in applied sciences.
