PHYS-443: Physics of nuclear reactorsIn this course, one acquires an understanding of the basic neutronics interactions occurring in a nuclear fission reactor as well as the conditions for establishing and controlling a nuclear chain reaction.
MSE-422: Advanced metallurgyThis course covers the metallurgy, processing and properties of modern high-performance metals and alloys (e.g. advanced steels, Ni-base, Ti-base, High Entropy Alloys etc.). In addition, the principles of computational alloy design as well as approaches for a sustainable metallurgy will be addressed
PHYS-423: Plasma IFollowing an introduction of the main plasma properties, the fundamental concepts of the fluid and kinetic theory of plasmas are introduced. Applications concerning laboratory, space, and astrophysical plasmas are discussed throughout the course.
PHYS-317: Optics IL'optique est un vieux domaine qui touche à beaucoup de sujets modernes, des techniques expérimentales aux applications courantes. Ce premier cours traite plusieurs aspects de base de l'optique: propagation, dispersion, interférence, diffraction, polarisation, modulation, guidage, etc.
CH-401: Advanced nuclear magnetic resonancePrinciples of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and applications to medical imaging. Principles of modern multi-dimensional NMR in liquids and solids. Structure determination of proteins & materials. Measurement of molecular dynamics. Principles of Hyperpolarization.
BIO-641: Data Science applications in NeuroimagingAttention: it is also necessary to register at https://tinyurl.com/edsan2022 in addition to signing up for the course. The "Examples of Data Science Applications in Neuroimaging" (EDSAN) course illustrates the use of open & reproducible data science in neuroimaging, with a strong focus on MRI.
FIN-415: Probability and stochastic calculusThis course gives an introduction to probability theory and stochastic calculus in discrete and continuous time. We study fundamental notions and techniques necessary for applications in finance such as option pricing, hedging, optimal portfolio choice and prediction problems.
FIN-416: Interest rate and credit risk modelsThis course gives an introduction to the modeling of interest rates and credit risk. Such models are used for the valuation of interest rate securities with and without credit risk, the management and hedging of bond portfolios and the valuation and usage of interest rate and credit derivatives.
PHYS-719: Advanced biomedical imaging methods and instrumentationThe main goal of this course is to give the student a solid introduction into approaches, methods, and instrumentation used in biomedical research. A major focus is on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and related methods, but other imaging modalities will be increasingly covered.
