Seminar presentations on various topics related to numerical methods applied to complex systems ranging from statistical mechanics, biological to soft-matter systems. Participation of M.Sc. students with a background in numerical methods or statistical physics is encouraged. All meetings will take place in the presence. The first meeting will take place on Tuesday, October 19 at 14:15 where the topics will be presented and distributed, after which the students are invited to send emails with their preferred topics to Ben Dalton dalton@zedat.fu-berlin.de and Roland Netz rnetz@physik.fu-berlin.de. There will be no meetings on October 26 and November 2. The first seminar should be presented on November 9.
Below is a current list of the presentation schedule. Please contact your assigned tutor. Even if your presentation is scheduled for later in the semester, please make initial contact in the coming weeks. If you have an issue with the date of your presentation or the topic, please contact us as soon as possible so that we can make the necessary rearrangements.
