This Indico installation shall not be used to organise MPI-CBG courses and events from beginning of 2024 on. Please use MPG Indico instead.

Registration deadline: 1 March 2018

AIM OF THE COURSE: This course teaches modeling and simulation techniques for spatiotemporal systems. You will learn to account for the geometry of a system and for transport in space. After repetition of the basics from mathematics and physics, you will model processes such as diffusion, reactions, and flow, and simulate them in the computer. 

COURSE REQUIREMENTS: Working knowledge of computer programming in any language (e.g. Matlab, Phython, Java) and solid undergraduate knowledge in calculus and vector analysis

SPECIAL REMARK: We focus on biological systems. The taught methods and concepts are, however, applicable in a much broader sense.

LEARNING GOAL: 

  • Analysis of the dynamic behaviour of biological or physical systems with spatial structure
  • Formulation of a model of the system behaviour
  • Computer simulation of the model using numerical methods

The number of participants is limited to 30.

We will inform you after 1 MARCH 2018 whether a slot in the lecture series could be assigned to you!

SCRIPT: Full lecture notes will be provided for free at the start of the course. The lecture syllabus, the slides, the self-check questions, and the exercises will be provided on: http://mosaic.mpi-cbg.de/?q=education/courses/STMS

PROJECT: The student project will aim at implementing the Quorum Sensing model proposed by J. Müller et al. as described on http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs00285-006-0024-z

EXAMINATION: The examination is required for successful completion of the lecture series; it will be either a written test or an oral examination (30 minutes). In principle, the examination mark is eligible to replace one subject of the Rigorosum at the Faculty of Science and Faculty of Medicine.
