Applications  @  UHH  30 ECTS credits

Modelling and simulation of complex systems

The semester in "Modelling, simulation, and optimization of complex systems" of Hamburg (UHH) partner will focus on fundamental principles of contemporary computational mathematics, including important theoretical and practical aspects of the subject. Special emphasis will be given on relevant applications in engineering. To this end, concrete model scenarios arising from academic and industrial applications will be utilized for motivation. The portfolio of the offered courses ranges from theoretical fundamentals of mathematical modelling and numerical simulation to concrete applications in computational science and engineering, including Computer-Aided Design, Computer Tomography, and Traffic Flow Modelling. Current research of the UHH lecturers-team's individual members is in close collaboration with various leading international partner institutions from industry, which further strengthens the application-oriented teaching concept of UHH within the Erasmus Mundus programme.
