PHYS-460: Nonlinear dynamics, chaos and complex systemsThe course provides students with the tools to approach the study of nonlinear systems and chaotic dynamics. Emphasis is given to concrete examples and numerical applications are carried out during the exercise sessions. ...
HUM-238: Philosophy of scienceCe cours propose d'identifier et comprendre les débats et problèmes centraux en philosophie des sciences, p.ex. le débat concernant les différents modèles de l'explication scientifique. Evaluer et comparer les arguments cruciaux dans ces débats. Présenter ...
HUM-429: Philosophy of life sciences IComprendre et discuter les questions centrales de la philosophie des sciences de la vie, par exemple celle du réductionnisme ou pourquoi le libre arbitre pourrait être une illusion. Transposer les problèmes et les arguments d'un débat à un autre. Évaluer l ...
MGT-450: Technology, sustainability and public policyTechnology is a driver of long-term growth but it can also undermine sustainable development. This course introduces microeconomic models of market and collective action failures, models of complex systems, as well as policy portfolios to address these iss ...
MSE-474: Materials selectionPropose suitable materials, design, and production routes depending on different performance criteria using a computer based software approach. The course is based on Prof. Mike Ashby's well known "Ashby plots" comparing different material properties (mech ...
AR-301(ah): Studio BA5 (Malterre-Barthes)"To be useful, helpful, of assistance to someone:" The "In Service of: Berre" studio
reflects on the architectural and territorial project as a form of public service. It explores how architecture and design tools can engage in spatial struggles in the con ...
PHYS-435: Statistical physics IIIThis course introduces statistical field theory, and uses concepts related to phase transitions to discuss a variety of complex systems (random walks and polymers, disordered systems, combinatorial optimisation, information theory and error correcting cod ...
HUM-126: Global issues: sustainabilityCe cours présente les enjeux mondiaux de la durabilité. Il introduit les limites planétaires, leur interconnexion systémique et les thèmes de justice sociale. L'approche interdisciplinaire initie au travail de groupe et à la pensée systémique (interdépenda ...
MATH-656: Numerical linear algebra for Koopman and DMDThe Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) has become a tool of trade in computational data driven analysis of complex dynamical systems. The DMD is deeply connected with the Koopman spectral analysis of nonlinear dynamical systems. This course will present rece ...
EE-477: Multivariable control and coordination systemsThe objective is to enable students to design advanced digital solutions for the control and the coordination of distributed dynamic systems, such as production or distribution energy systems, as well as intelligent transportation systems. ...
PHYS-759: Nonequilibrum Physics for Complex SystemsWe will discuss recent topics in nonequilibrium physics of complex living and artificial systems, ranging from collective behaviors in active matter to noise and information processing in cellular biophysics to stochastic learning dynamics in deep artifici ...
ENG-421: Fundamentals in systems engineeringIntroduction to systems engineering using the classical V-model.
