What you will learn

Each participant has to pick a topic out of a pool of topic from their respective supervisor. The topics encompass one till two research papers. Based on the paper(s) the student has to pick a third one by his own. To guide the student while reading the papers, we are going to provide a list of questions which have to be answered for each paper. That lists have to be submitted by the review due (cf. timline). Feedback towards the reviews is provided by us afterwards. According to the feedback you start writing a small survey (3 pages) of the read papers. Each student has to give a presentation of 15-20 minutes where he/she compares the papers and also explaines the main contributions of the papers.

Our list of topics will be presented at the begining of the semester (cf. our website for details). 

Seminar topics will be assigned by the supervisors. Please contact Tommy Hielscher for further information.
