Have you ever wondered what are the sensors on a plane and how small they are? How to print a miniature clock mechanism? Or how to analyse DNA in a few minutes? This is the field of miniature devices, called micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) or simply microsystems. During this course you will learn what they are, but also you will touch them and measure some of their properties. Take part in this event to see microengineering laboratory, find how microfluidic pumps are working, measure parameters of avionic sensors, discover miniature transducers for energy harvesting, analyse sample in a lab-on-a-chip, as well as design, create and measure your own mechanical microsystem using 3D inkjet printing. These and many others topics are covered during classes in the Department of Microengineering and Photovoltaics at Faculty of Microsystems Electronics and Photonics.
According to CareerCast, Data Scientist is one of the best job of recent years. It requires a unique blend of skills from three disciplines: mathematics (especially statistics), computer science (especially data analysis) and domain knowledge (in the field it will be applied), which is very attractive to many employers. Strong computer science skills and different approach to data analysis, based on scientific method, is what makes Data Scientists different from statisticians. At the same time, Python is becoming a language of choice for many data scientists, next to languages like Scala and statistical packages like R. It is also the first programming language many people learn, no matter their age. This course gives you a chance to quickly build up your Python skills, learn basics of how data scientist works and apply all this to a project on a real, large data sets. This course is highly practical.
Systems which evolve randomly are observed everywhere and are one of the most important subjects of modern modelling. Diffusion in liquids plays important part in biology, medicine and physics; chaotic changes of stock prices is a basics of financial engineering; random population models are standard in ecology and sociology. These are modelled by random functions such as arithmetical and geometrical Brownian motion, Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process and similar functions, which are solutions of various stochastic differential equations. The understanding of these phenomena is impossible without knowledge about properties of these equations. This course will describe what stochastic differential equations are, how to propose valid models based on them and how to solve them analytically or numerically. The lectures will provide necessary mathematical and applicational background. During the laboratories participants will learn how to simulate the solutions of models based on stochastic differential equations, estimate their properties and fit these models to real systems.
