Register now to the 2025 edition of the OMCI master course!


Join the 2025 edition of the master course:

Title: Optimization Methods for Electromagnetic Diagnostics of Civil Infrastructures (OMCI)
Date: 15 September – 19 December 2025 (5 h/week)
Teachers: MASSA Andrea, ROCCA Paolo
Website: https://www.eledia.org/eledia-unitn/course/omci/

Ever wondered how biological evolution can inspire smarter algorithms?
Genetic Algorithms (GA) simulate natural selection to solve tough optimization problems — and they’re key to solving inverse problems in engineering!

The Master Course is taught in 🇬🇧️ ENGLISH and is offered

  • On-site
  • On-line (synchronous and asynchronous)

Video recordings, hand-outs, etc. of the lectures will be available off-line!

In this course, you will learn:

  • How Genetic Algorithms mimic selection, crossover, and mutation to explore solution spaces
  • Encoding strategies for electromagnetic inverse problems
  • Fitness functions, elitism, convergence control, and hybrid GA techniques
  • Applications to inverse problems

From chromosomes to code, you will discover how nature’s principles can drive innovative solutions in engineering diagnostics!

Teaching Activities:

  • Theoretical Lessons
  • e-Xam Self Assessment (each teaching class or periodically)
  • MATLAB Hands-On
  • e-Xam Final Assessment

Fees:

UniTN Students: FREE
EXTERNAL Students:

  • 216€ : First course
  • 180€ : Every course from the second one

The fees include the course teaching, slides/material, and video recordings.
