MSE-600: Effects of radiation on materialsThe purpose of this course is to provide the necessary background to understand the effects of irradiation on pure metals and on alloys used in the nuclear industry. The relation between the radiation
BIOENG-445: Biomedical opticsThis course addresses the principles governing the interactions between light and biological tissue, their optical properties and basic concepts of radiometry. Illustrative diagnostic and therapeutic
MATH-437: Calculus of variationsIntroduction to classical Calculus of Variations and a selection of modern techniques. The Calculus of Variations aims at showing the existence of minimisers (or critical points) of functionals that n
PHYS-756: Lectures on twisted bilayer grapheneTwisted Bilayer Graphene (TBG) is a change of paradigm in condensed matter: with flat topologic bands, it provides a platform for unconventional superconductivity, correlated insulation, Plankian meta
MATH-329: Continuous optimizationThis course introduces students to continuous, nonlinear optimization. We study the theory of optimization with continuous variables (with full proofs), and we analyze and implement important algorith
ME-484: Numerical methods in biomechanicsStudents understand and apply numerical methods (FEM) to answer a research question in biomechanics. They know how to develop, verify and validate multi-physics and multi-scale numerical models. They
