Scope

The lecture series "Microswimmers" combines disciplines of life sciences, and as such four of our five School of Sciences' faculties: Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics. "Microswimmers" brings together theory and application issues, focussing on providing an excellent teaching base on this present topic.

This lecture series comprises 14 lectures from international speakers plus 14 reading seminars (Hauptseminare) which take place one week before each lecture and are held in a journal club style. This lecture is planned to run in the course of a full year (September 2018 - Juli 2019). Participating students are asked to read the provided articles (see Learning Material) and present an article in one of the reading seminars during the course of the lecture series.

Topics:

Physics of Motion on the Microscale
Artifical microwimmers
Biological microswimmers
