The theoretical background and practical aspects of heterogeneous reactions including the basic knowledge of heterogeneous catalysis are introduced. The fundamentals are given to allow the design of multiphase chemical reactors. ...
The course covers the production of ceramics and colloids from the basic scientific concepts and theories needed to understand the forming processes to the mechanisms and methods of sintering (firing) ceramics. Including the scientific principles behind th ...
Nondimensionalized Navier-Stokes equations result in a great variety of models (Stokes, Lubrication, Euler, Potential) depending on the Reynolds number. The concept of boundary layer enables us then to identify the different components of the hydrodynamic ...
Information is processed in physical devices. In the quantum regime the concept of classical bit is replaced by the quantum bit. We introduce quantum principles, and then quantum communications, key distribution, quantum entropy, and spin dynamics. No prio ...
This is an introductory course to the concentration of measure phenomenon - random functions that depend on many random variables tend to be often close to constant functions. ...
We develop, analyze and implement numerical algorithms to solve optimization problems of the form min f(x) where x is a point on a smooth manifold. To this end, we first study differential and Riemannian geometry (with a focus dictated by computational con ...
This course will cover mathematical concepts and efficient numerical methods for geometric computing. We will explore the beauty of geometry and develop algorithms to simulate and optimize 2D and 3D geometric models with an emphasis towards computational d ...
The course provides an introduction to the study of curves and surfaces in Euclidean spaces. We will learn how we can apply ideas from differential and integral calculus and linear algebra in order to "measure shapes". ...
The course will focus on a probabilistic construction of a conformal field theory related to random Riemann surfaces, called the Liouville conformal field theory. The symmetries of the theory allow to express the n-point correlation functions in terms of 3 ...
Les antennes sont utilisées dans une multitude d'applications de communications et de détection, demandant des fréquences et propriétés d'antennes très différentes. Ce cours décrit la théorie de base pour analyser et concevoir des antennes pour des applica ...
