The seminar is a perfect frame for the autonomous workout of a 25-30 min presentation of a subject that can be modeling, theory/analysis, numerical methods / simulations including "machine learning" and data scienc aspects.

The seminar is interfacultary and interdisciplinary in the field of "mathematical and computational aspects" in physics and engineering, with an emphasis on astrophysics and quantum physics.

The subject of talk+workout can be freely chosen with one or more of the 5 scientists who run the seminar.
Propositions by students are most welcome, a competent supervisor will then be assigned.
