Statistical and Biological Physics
In the module Statistical and Biological Physics you will deepen previous knowledge and specialize in astrophysics, acquire and train new skills. This includes
- to apply concepts from physics to biological systems,
- to understand complex phenomena emerging from simple systems,
- to construct models and infer model parameters from empirical observations,
- interdisciplinary skills and interaction between experiment and theory.
The module prepares for topics of current research in statistical and biological physics and towards their own research activity within the master thesis. The module is subdivided into a core courses, specialized courses, an advanced seminar, a research internship and contains Lectures, problem classes, seminar (optional), research internship (guidance to independent research; optional).
You can find the courses on Klips.
