| 1 | Applied Optics | WMME010-05 |
In this course students will learn how the underlying physical principles of waves and optics can be applied to the design and analysis of optical systems and engineering solutions. The course provides a comprehensive overview of key optical theory relevant to engineering optical systems. This includes topics like geometrical and physical optics, aberration theory, diffraction and propagation, interference and Fourier optics, all from an applied point of view. Furthermore a basic introduction to the techniques involved in designing optical systems will be given.
During the course a wide range of practical applications, instruments and techniques will be presented as case studies (complemented by a few guest lectures/seminars from industry and research institutes) in areas like imaging, spectroscopy, metrology, alignment, illumination, and image processing. In this way students will learn the design rationale behind optical instruments, recognize the underpinning theory, and be able to explain its operation.
Complementary to the lectures, a series of computer aided design and simulation tutorials will be given, utilizing state-of-the-art optical design software, where students will work on exercises covering the topics and theory covered during the lectures. In addition students will get a final project assignment, where they will work in small teams on an optical design problem, with an intermediate review and final project presentation and design report.
At the end of the course students will understand the theoretical foundations of applied optics, be able to apply them to explain and analyse the physical behaviour of optical systems, and be able to design basic optical systems. |

| 9 | Cosmic Web (Capita Selecta, 21/22) | WMAS013-03 |
The large scale distribution of galaxies and matter defines an intricate network of dense compact clusters, filaments, sheets and large voids. This web is one of the main fossils of the cosmic structure formation process, and mining its information content has become an important cosmological activity.
In this course we will start with an observational overview, based on galaxy redshift surveys, quasar absorption lines, and gravitational lensing studies. Subsequently we will treat extensions of the Zel'dovich formalism, in particular adhesion theory. We will zoom in on the dynamical evolution of both clusters and voids. Armed with this insight, we will be able to adress the theoretical framework of Cosmic Web theory, including extensions of the Press schechter theory involving anisotropic collapse of clusters and other features and the hierarchical evolution voids. Two lectures will be devoted to the analysis tools that have been developed over the past decade to analyze complex spatial patterns. These include feature measures, Minkowski functionals, Morse theory and the skeleton, the Multiscale Morphology Filter, and tessellation-based tools for detecting filaments and voids. One particular example of their application will address the question of whether we can find remnants of the galaxy rotation origin in their alignment with filaments and walls. In the final week, we will turn to the study of the gaseous web, both the Lya forest and the WHIM. |

This module is structured as follows:
1. Preparation Internship (2 weeks, end of december)
2. Writing Plan of Action at company or policy organization (4 weeks)
3. Internship (8 weeks)
4. Reflection days (1 week)
5. Internship (3 months)
6. Wrap up (1 week)
During the internship outside university they acts as a science advisor, who analyses a business or policy problem that needs scientific knowledge to solve it. The student then writes a report with well-argued suggestions to solve the problem.
The student implements the skills he/she has learned in the modules Science and Business and Science and Policy. The students gets acquainted with the organization (structure, culture, personality) by performing tasks within the organization. Thus the student gets an valuable experience in a multidisciplinary environment.
The internship starts in January and ends in June/July. The student must find an internship by himself, with help of the SBP-staff. It is important to start looking as soon as possible.
The student is supervised by a SBP-staff member, a beta science staff member and a supervisor of the organization where the internship takes place.
The internship should have a beta science aspect (25-50%), a business and/or policy aspect (25-50%) and sufficient prospects for implementation of the advice. |

Course Acquisition Tools & Career Management
See also www.rug.nl/fse/sbp | | Opmerkingen | From those who enroll between April 1 and April 14, second year master students who will do the entire SBP-variant have priority. After April 14, admission will be in order of registration.
The Science Business and Policy Master Track is in English. However, to some extent it can be considered bilingual. Some projects for Dutch organizations, especially policy organizations, can be in Dutch. Also some tutor groups for Dutch projects and personal development can be in Dutch. Some internship organizations prefer a Dutch advice report. In short, in projects and tutor groups the practical situation is leading, whereas international students will always be able to chose for an English project.
