Reinart Andreas J. CoosemansTeaching & PhD Courses General physics : mechanics PHYS-101(a) Give the student the basic notions that will allow him or her to have a better understanding of physical phenomena, such as the mechanic of point masses. Acquire the capacity to analyse quantitatively the consequences of these effects with appropriate theoretical tools.
Amir JafargholiTeaching & PhD PhD Students Senlu Zhou Courses Antennas EE-446 The students will first learn the fundamental principles governing antennas and get familiar with the main antenna types. In the second part, students will work in groups on an antenna design project. Through this, they will learn to use common simulation tools, and perform antenna measurements
Alexandre Brea RodriguezTeaching & PhD Courses Selected topics in nuclear and particle physics PHYS-400 This course presents the physical principles and the recent research developments on three topics of particle and nuclear physics: the physics of neutrinos, dark matter, and plasmas of quarks and gluons. An emphasis is given on experimental aspects in these three research fields.
