ME-403: Applied mechanical designStudents will be exposed to hands-on design problems throughout the term. They will acquire methodologies to (1) address open ended engineering problems, (2) cultivate creativity, (3) support decision
ENV-200: Environmental chemistryThis course provides students with an overview over the basics of environmental chemistry. This includes the chemistry of natural systems, as well as the fate of anthropogenic chemicals in natural sys
EE-440: Photonic systems and technologyThe physics of optical communication components and their applications to communication systems will be covered. The course is intended to present the operation principles of contemporary optical comm
CS-448: Sublinear algorithms for big data analysisIn this course we will define rigorous mathematical models for computing on large datasets, cover main algorithmic techniques that have been developed for sublinear (e.g. faster than linear time) data
ME-466: InstabilityThis course focuses on the physical mechanisms at the origin of the transition of a flow from laminar to turbulent using the hydrodynamic instability theory.
CS-526: Learning theoryMachine learning and data analysis are becoming increasingly central in many sciences and applications. This course concentrates on the theoretical underpinnings of machine learning.
