Learning Outcomes
Competences
Upon successful completion of the seminar, students are able to critically analyze and summarize recent research papers or presentations in the area of semiconductor physics. They are able to present complex scientific ideas clearly, engage in discussions and provide constructive critiques of current literature.
Skills Knowledge
Upon completing the course, students will possess the following skills. They are able to

  • critically analyze recent scientific literature and findings in the wider area of semiconductor physics and quantum physics (k4);
  • summarize complex research findings and methodologies (k4);
  • present scientific papers and results clearly and effectively to a peer audience (k4/k5);
  • engage in and lead scientific discussions (k5/k6);
  • provide constructive critiques and feedback on current research (k5/k6);
  • develop awareness of contemporary advancements and open questions in the field of semiconductor and quantum physics (k6).
During the course, students will gain knowledge of current research topics and methods in the field of semiconductor and quantum physics either by reading recent papers or by attending talks on topics aligned with the broader scientific context of their MSc and PhD thesis projects. The specific topics will be chosen in consultation with the supervisor and the learned material shall be presented by the students in a seminar.
Criteria for evaluation Evaluation will include the content and presentation of the talk as well as active engagement in the discussions.
Methods Seminar talks will be followed by extensive discussions to encourage active participation as well as a deeper understanding of the topics.
