Computational Physics

Our staff teaches physics at all levels, ranging from first-year basic courses to advanced postgraduate courses. Computational Physics is one of the three possible study paths (alongside Aerosol Physics and Photonics) in the curriculum of Advanced Engineering Physics for the M.Sc. degree in technology at TAU.

In Computational Physics we actively employ undergraduate students as trainees, summer students and thesis workers. Our B.Sc. students typically focus on an interesting computational research problem that is not too extensive, but - if successful - often leads to a co-authorship in a scientific publication.

Open call for summer trainees opens in January-February every year, please check the Open Positions page of the university.

We also employ M.Sc. students, even though the availability of projects is subject to the funding situation of the research groups. Feel free to approach our group leaders and ask for available M.Sc. projects!

We offer a variety of courses related to computational physics:

• Analytical Mechanics
• Computational Physics 1
• Computational Physics 2
• Quantum Mechanics
• Quantum Theory of Electronic Structure
• Statistical Physics 2

Our doctoral students are part of the Doctoral Programme of Engineering and Natural Sciences. In recent years our students have been very successful in obtaining individual research grants for doctoral studies.
