Seminar: Methods of Physics in Biology and Medicine

Sommersemester 2023

Tuesday, 18:00 (s.t.) – 19:30 h

[ Information on this Seminar in the Winter term 2022/23 can be found here ]

On 18.04.2023, there will be a meeting to discuss general questions (Vorbesprechung), no talk on this date.

You can already register for a subject as described below.

Please choose the desired topic from the list below and register via the following link:

Two talks per date are allowed. However, we ask you to spread out, so that all free dates are occupied first, whenever possible.

Please make sure, that no one else has already chosen the desired talk.

Please enter your name and the number of the topic you want to choose. Please also select the desired date.

Email addresses will not be visible publicly.

For questions, or if you want to choose a topic not listed below, please contact t.kuder@dkfz.de oder p.bachert@dkfz.de

 

To receive 6 credit points: talk, written report and regular attendance are required.

  • duration of talk: 40 min + 5 min questions (in case there is only one talk on the specific date, talks are allowed to be longer, if desired.)
  • computer with microphone needed, the presenting person will be required to share the screen with the slides to be shown
  • written report: overview of the presented topic, maximum 10 pages, to be handed in until 01. October 2023 (Please submit your report, the slides of your talk and your matriculation number [Matrikel-Nr.])
