Introduce and sensitise students of theoretical physics at UU to current research topics relevant to experimental and/or applied physics in direct collaboration with research groups at Eindhoven University of Technology TU/e. Research at the department of Applied Physics of TU/e focuses on three main research programmes: functional materials, plasma physics and radiation technology, and transport physics. These main programmes encompass topics such as fusion technology, materials processing, gas discharges, turbulence, nanofluidics, flow in disordered media, photo-voltaics, organic field-effect transistors, quantum information, liquid crystals, molecular-controlled release vehicles, biosensors and many others. For details, refer to the website of Applied Physics at TU/e, https://www.tue.nl/en/university/departments/applied-physics/.

This course is not a regular class but a research project or a literature study on a specific topic relevant to applied and experimental physics, and technology. The student is expected to consult the website of the Department of Applied Physics at TU/e, https://www.tue.nl/en/university/departments/applied-physics/, and find a research group working on a class of physics problems that interests the student. The contact at ITF (Prof. Paul van der Schoot) introduces the student to the relevant staff member at TU/e. That TU/e staff member and the student agree upon a theoretical project or literature study that is of interest to the experimental research group at TU/e and the student. If necessary, an expert co-supervisor at the ITF will be found. The project/literature study may be performed at UU or TU/e, depending on the wishes of the student.
The course may prepare the student for the master's thesis project, that is, the student could take the it as an early introduction into the final year's thesis work.
