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 ...
This course covers the fundamental analysis of liquid-gas interfacial heat and mass transfer in various contexts
including power generation, water purification, and cooling. Students will learn about the multiscale physics involved in
evaporation, boiling, ...
Life is non-linear. This course introduces dynamical systems as a technique for modelling simple biological processes. The emphasis is on the qualitative and numerical analysis of non-linear dynamical models. Examples are taken from biology and population ...
Introduction à la physique des plasmas destinée à donner une vue globale des propriétés essentielles et uniques d'un plasma et à présenter les approches couramment utilisées pour modéliser son comportement. Application à la fusion thermonucléaire ainsi qu' ...
This course shows students how the physical principles of conservation, symmetry, and locality influence the dynamics of living organisms at the molecular and cellular level. Computer simulations are used to explore examples of cellular dynamics and phase ...
