CS-430: Intelligent agentsSoftware agents are widely used to control physical, economic and financial processes. The course presents practical methods for implementing software agents and multi-agent systems, supported by programming exercises, and the theoretical underpinnings including computational game theory.
MGT-454: Principles of microeconomicsThe course allows students to get familiarized with the basic tools and concepts of modern microeconomic analysis. Based on graphical reasoning and analytical calculus, it constantly links to real economic issues.
EE-570: Power system restructuring and deregulationThis course presents different types and mechanisms of electricity markets. It addresses in particular their impacts on power/distribution systems operation and consequently the appropriate strategies capable to ensure a secure and reliable functioning.
MGT-200: Economic thinkingThis course introduces frameworks and tools for understanding the economic dimensions of the world we live in. The course includes applications to real-world situations and events. Assessment is through group projects. The course is divided into two parts: Microeconomics and Macroeconomics.
PHYS-425: Quantum physics IIITo introduce several advanced topics in quantum physics, including
semiclassical approximation, path integral, scattering theory, and
relativistic quantum mechanics
CS-423: Distributed information systemsThis course introduces the key concepts and algorithms from the areas of information retrieval, data mining and knowledge bases, which constitute the foundations of today's Web-based distributed information systems.
MICRO-435: Quantum and nanocomputingThe course teaches non von-Neumann architectures. The first part of the course deals with quantum computing, sensing, and communications. The second focuses on field-coupled and conduction-based nanocomputing, in-memory and molecular computing, cellular automata, and spintronic computing.
MGT-483: Optimal decision makingThis course introduces the theory and applications of optimization. We develop tools and concepts of optimization and decision analysis that enable managers in manufacturing, service operations, marketing, transportation and finance to transform data into insights for making better decisions.
