PHYS 498 class schedule data for spring 2024
CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
70438	Laboratory-Discussion	EBP	1:00PM -4:50PM	TR	4122 Engineering Sciences Building	Denos, S Selvin, P	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/16/24-05/01/24 Credit: 4 hours Section Info: Physics 498 EBP: Experimental Biophysics Students in this advanced laboratory course will participate in module-based experiments that involve cutting-edge methods and questions in biological physics. We will explore techniques such as optical imaging with resolution beyond the diffraction limit and high-throughput DNA sequencing. Through these activities, students will explore the methods that have opened the new field of quantitative biophysics and a predictive understanding of topics such as evolutionary and cellular dynamics. Restriction(s): Restricted to students with Junior or Senior class standing.
64138	Lecture	MLP	1:00PM -2:20PM	TR	3101 Sidney Lu Mech Engr Bldg	Neubauer, M	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/16/24-05/01/24 Credit: 4 hours Section Info: Machine Learning for Physics: This course presents an introduction to modern data science, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) from a physics perspective. Students will learn the basic concepts, tools, and methods of AI/ML applied to scientific challenges through hands-on projects utilizing open data. Students will study methods to incorporate physics knowledge into AI/ML models to improve their learning efficiency, performance, and interpretability.
