The educational program “New technologies for the search for new physical effects” of the 2020/2021 academic year is continuing. The first lesson of the spring semester will take place on Wednesday, March 3, 2021 at 5:30 p.m. Moscow time.
The educational program “New technologies for the search for new physical effects” has been implemented at NUST MISIS since 2018. The program for the 2020/2021 academic year consists of two blocks. The first block included 12 lessons from October to December 2020. The lessons of this block were focused on three main topics: “Introduction to physics of the fundamental properties of matter”; “Physics of interaction of radiation and particles with matter”, “Physics and technologies of particle detectors”. All educational materials for the fall semester are available at link.
The second block of the program, which is being implemented in the spring semester, is entirely devoted to the topic “Modern principles of obtaining, processing and analyzing physical data using machine learning and artificial intelligence”. Lessons will be held once a week, on Wednesdays from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., in English. Lessons will be conducted by experts in the field of big data analysis:
Andrey Ustyuzhanin — Head of the Laboratory of Methods for Big Data Analysis, Faculty of Computer Science, Higher School of Economics, researcher at the Center for Infrastructure Interaction and Partnership MegaScience, NUST MISIS;
Nicola Serra — Professor at the University of Zurich, Physics Coordinator of the SHiP experiment at CERN.
Much like in the fall semester, access to the videos and slides of the next lecture will be open in advance, one week before the lesson on the topic of the lecture, thus, seven days are given to view the materials. Each lesson will be conducted by an online lecturer on Zoom and will be devoted to discussing the lecture material, solving problems, and answering questions.
The program is open to everyone and will be of most interest to students in the field of computer science, as well as physicists and engineers interested in modern methods of working with big data. We especially wait for students from the autumn semester of the program. Participation is free, but electronic preliminary registration is required on the website.
You can register until March 3, 2021. A connection link will be sent to registered participants on the day of the lesson.
Participation in the program will not only allow you to learn a lot of new and interesting things, but also give you the opportunity to become a member of an active international team of researchers working on exciting problems at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and other research centers around the world. We hope that a number of program participants will continue to work on CERN projects. Others will undoubtedly find application of the knowledge gained in the industrial sphere. And last but not least — you will surely improve your English skills.
We are waiting for you at NUST MISIS for the spring semester of the “New technologies for the search for new physical effects” program of the 2020/2021 academic year! Andrey Ustyuzhanin will deliver the first introductory lecture on the course on Wednesday, March 3, 2021, 5:30 p.m. Moscow time.
