10467 Experimental Methods and Instrumentation in Physics (3 week course)


MSc courses:

10337 Theoretical microfluidics
The course introduces advanced theoretical topics in the field of microfluidics, i.e., the dynamics of viscous fluid flows at the sub-millimetre scale under the influence of different physical forces

10346 Continuum physics
The aim of the course is to give the student a basic understanding of the physics of spatially extended media consisting of solid materials, liquids, and gasses. The course can be regarded as a natural extension of classical mechanics (including thermodynamics/statistical mechanics) or be the basis for more specialized studies in elasticity, hydrodynamics, microfluidics, biophysics, and complex systems.
