The PIER Graduate Week is an interdisciplinary lecture and workshop week for young scientists. This year, it offers two stimulating block courses with topics that are of interest for many doctoral researchers in the wide range of the PIER research fields of Particle & Astroparticle Physics, Nanoscience, Photon Science and Infection & Structural Biology. It aims at doctoral researchers, but MSc students, postdoctoral researchers and other interested scientists are also invited to join in.
Each course is a four-day series of eight consecutive mini lectures (7-10 October). The first thematic bloc covers the field of modern accelerator and detector technologies. The second thematic bloc is on scientific computing using Python. Complementary soft skill courses take place on 11-15 October.
The graduate week's main objective is to give young scientists on Bahrenfeld campus the opportunity to broaden their interdisciplinary understanding and interchange with their colleagues from other research fields.
Extras:
- Industry talk "Unraveling the transition from PhD to data science" with alumnus Dr. Murali Ganesa, PORSCHE digital
- Scientific colloquium on "The physics of soft condensed matter" with Prof. Detlef Lohse, Max Planck Center Twente for Complex Fluid Dynamics, Netherlands
- The complementary soft skills workshops combine short lectures with practical exercises and homework. Please note: The places for the soft skills workshops are limited and take place after the scientific lectures on 11-15 October.
- Poster session: Doctoral researchers from all PIER research fields are invited to present a poster on 9 October. The best poster will be awarded a prize.
