This lecture introduces the fundamental concepts for describing, characterizing, and engineering surfaces and interfaces. Students will develop both theoretical and practical understanding of how interfacial phenomena influence surface properties and techn ...
This course discusses materials physics associated with the mechanical and structural properties of solids, primarily focusing on the physics of dislocation defect dynamics and linking diffusion kinetics to the fundamental physics of phase transformations. ...
Neural interfaces (NI) are bioelectronic systems that interface the nervous system to digital technologies. This course presents their main building blocks (transducers, instrumentation & communication), reviews current and upcoming materials and technolog ...
The course aims to provide a comprehensive overview of ongoing advanced manufacturing research topics and an opportunity for students to investigate current research trends. ...
This course provides the basis to understand material and energy production and consumption processes. Students learn how to develop a material flow analysis and apply it to resource management cases. They analyze the implications of their models on resour ...
Design and dimensioning of load-bearing structures using structural steel, with emphasis on the specific methods related to steel-concrete composite elements (for buildings and bridges), fatigue (bridges) and fire (buildings). ...
The course covers relevant experimental and theoretical concepts in nanoscale science, from fundamental aspects like quantum tunneling and quantum size effects, to hot topics like quantum transport and nanoscale magnetism. ...
In this course we study heat transfer (and energy conversion) from a microscopic perspective. First we focus on understanding why classical laws (i.e. Fourier Law) are what they are and what are their limits of validity. Next we discuss emerging opportunit ...
