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.

New types of microscopic sensors and actuators are made using technology of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). MEMS devices are organized into mechatronic systems, which can measure signals and perform mechanical actions, so they are crucial components in automotive, biomedical and electronics applications. But how to build and manage MEMS & mechatronic systems?

Use LabVIEW! It is the world’s most popular graphical engineering software for measurements, control, data processing and testing. LabVIEW-based systems are applied in almost every branch of engineering, including: manufacturing, electronics, energetics, transportation, science, and aerospace.

In this course you will learn how to control exemplary mechatronic system with own-developed LabVIEW application with a graphical user interface. And you do not need to be a professional programmer – everyone can learn and use LabVIEW! Check this out by taking part in this Summer School course.

Over the last decade, a huge variety of nanomaterials was developed and brought into applications. They became popular due to their unique properties, often much different from ‘bulk’ analogs. Consequently, nanomaterials of various shapes and sizes can be found in both daily life and laboratory practice. The progress in nanotechnology is possible only through the exploration and optimization of nanomaterials. This in turn requires the development of new, often sophisticated experimental techniques that provide access to nanomaterial features and allow for observation of new phenomena. Despite the small size of nanomaterial ranging from single up to hundreds of nanometers, the huge variety of methods allows for detailed characterization of even individual nanoparticles. In this course, we present a variety of state-of-the-art nanomaterials and present the experimental techniques that could be used for studies of this fascinating class of materials.
