Course Description :

This module includes series of research seminars based on self-learning and presentations of new advanced topics related to the stu-dents' Thesis subject. The seminars will be presented by the Ph.D. stu-dents and invited specialists in different advanced research topics in the fields of specialization. The student's evaluation is based on his/her understanding of the presented topics and presentations skills.

Course Description :

For the Thesis Ph.D’s in Biotechnology, students will be trained, with the help of their supervisors, to perform a literature review, identify im-portant issues in a specific field and understand the scientific approach to research questions in Biotechnology, carry out a scientific study and appropriately managing the obtained data. Importantly, the Ph.D. grad-uate students will be provided with a complete and thorough opportuni-ty to become a research scientist, to be exposed to the highest quality research methods and techniques in the field of Biology/Biotechnology. Also, student will be supported by an environment that fosters critical thinking. In addition, they will be provided with an appreciation for the value of multidisciplinary collaborations. The students will be trained and encouraged to prepare their work for publication in high impact sci-entific journals. The student will be guided to submit a research thesis not exceeding 100,000 words, including tables, figures and footnotes, and present an appropriate defense in an oral examination.

Course Description :

The course will start with a quick reminder on partial differential equa-tions, first-order PDEs, and Classification of second-order linear equa-tions (elliptic, parabolic, hyperbolic). It will cover the following core top-ics: Elliptic equations (Laplace and Poisson equations; finite difference, Gauss’s theorem, Green’s function). Parabolic equations (Heat equa-tions fundamental solutions, maximum principles, finite difference and convergence, Stefan Problems). Wave equation and vibrations. Water waves and various approximations.

Course Description :

The purpose of this course is to provide students with numerical meth-ods for solving ordinary, fractional and partial differential equations (fi-nite difference, iterative, finite element, pseudo-spectral, and method of lines and multi-grid methods). To get a handle on these issues, this course will fuse together knowledge from a variety of relevant top-ics including introduction to parallel algorithms, Grid computing, Visual-ization tools and software development.
