PHYS-423: Plasma IFollowing an introduction of the main plasma properties, the fundamental concepts of the fluid and kinetic theory of plasmas are introduced. Applications concerning laboratory, space, and astrophysica
BIO-692: Symmetry and Conservation in the CellThis 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
COM-300: Stochastic models in communicationL'objectif de ce cours est la maitrise des outils des processus stochastiques utiles pour un ingénieur travaillant dans les domaines des systèmes de communication, de la science des données et de l'i
MATH-434: Lattice modelsLattice models consist of (typically random) objects living on a periodic graph. We will study some models that are mathematically interesting and representative of physical phenomena seen in the real
BIO-372: MicrobiologyThis course will provide an introduction to fundamental concepts in microbiology. Special emphasis will be given to the surprising and often counter-intuitive physical world inhabited by microorganism
PHYS-210: Physique numérique (pour SPH)Aborder, formuler et résoudre des problèmes de physique en utilisant des méthodes numériques élémentaires. Comprendre les avantages et les limites de ces méthodes (stabilité, convergence). Illustrer d
PHYS-438: Fundamentals of biomedical imagingThe goal of this course is to illustrate how modern principles of basic science approaches are integrated into the major
biomedical imaging modalities of importance to biology and medicine, with an em
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 o
COM-401: Cryptography and securityThis course introduces the basics of cryptography. We review several types of cryptographic primitives, when it is safe to use them and how to select the appropriate security parameters. We detail how
PHYS-467: Machine learning for physicistsMachine learning and data analysis are becoming increasingly central in sciences including physics. In this course, fundamental principles and methods of machine learning will be introduced and practi
MGT-416: Causal inferenceStudents will learn the core concepts and techniques of network analysis with emphasis on causal inference. Theory and
application will be balanced, with students working directly with network data th
MATH-519: Topics in high-dimensional probabilityThis is a theoretical course about probability in high dimensions. We will look at some mathematical phenomena appearing as the number of random variables grows large - e.g. concentration of measure o
COM-512: Networks out of controlThe goal of this class is to acquire mathematical tools and engineering insight about networks whose structure is random, as well as learning and control techniques applicable to such network data.
PHYS-512: Statistical physics of computationThe students understand tools from the statistical physics of disordered systems, and apply them to study computational and statistical problems in graph theory, discrete optimisation, inference and m
