The Department has a flat organization with 40 research group leaders, of which 24 are full professors, and 65 PhD students. nnTeaching represents a fundamental activity at the Department, which participates in several undergraduate courses and postgraduate education programs. Each year approximately 15 students receive their PhD from our Department and many of our graduates have gone onto distinguished careers in the academic or private sector.
