This course provides a practical introduction to single-molecule biophysics, a vibrant field that over the past several decades has transformed how we probe biological and soft-matter systems at the most fundamental level. We will build up the foundations of imaging science—including geometric and F...

This course will examine the theory and practical application of environmental chemistry and toxicology for assessing the behavior, toxicity and human health risks of chemical contaminants in the environment. The goals of the course are to: (a) illustrate how various sub-disciplines in environmental...

Mathematical modeling is the essential component of the revolution in computation-based research over the past decade. While designing mathematical models is itself an art form, it is equally important to learn how to transform them into computational systems that allow robust evaluation, which...

The MS/MBA Capstone is an intensive project-based experience that requires teams of students to apply and integrate the skills they have learned across the program curriculum. Specifically, teams will be expected to design, build (and hopefully, launch) a new technology-based product/service venture...

ES 201/AM 231 is a course in statistical inference and estimation from a signal processing perspective. The course will emphasize the entire pipeline from writing a model, estimating its parameters and performing inference utilizing real data. The first part of the course will focus on linear and no...

This course introduces students to methods of construction: conceptually, historically, and practically. We will consider how construction techniques emerge in relation to architectural desires and technical criteria in order to emphasize the architect’s agency in shaping construction systems within...

The MS/MBA Capstone is an intensive project-based experience that requires teams of students to apply and integrate the skills they have learned across the program curriculum.

The invention of Skiagraphia by ancient Greek painter Apollodorus left an indelible mark on western civilization. Applying shade and shadow to drawn work, or ‘rendering,’ fundamentally transforms 2-dimensional drawings from abstractions to representations of phenomenal experience. It prefigured an e...

This course recognizes plants as one of the most expressive materials of the artform — a living medium that distinguishes the discipline from the other applied sciences and fine arts. The goal of the course is to introduce the global potential of plants as a means of design for shaping the character...

This course introduces electrochemical systems through the lens of thermodynamics, kinetics, and transport. We begin by asking what fundamental role an electron plays in a chemical reaction, then we move to methods to treat electrons through traditional chemical kinetic theories, and last, we discus...

This course covers a combination of linear algebra and multivariate calculus with an eye towards solving systems of equations and optimization problems. Students will learn how to prove some key results, and will also implement these ideas with code. Linear algebra: matrices, vector spaces, bases an...

Recent years have seen AI successfully applied to societal challenge problems. Indeed, recognizing the potential of AI for tremendous social impact in the future, "AI for social impact" is growing as a subdiscipline within AI. In this course, we will discuss successful case studies of  use...

The contents and course requirements of CS 244R are similar to those of CS 1440R, with the exception that students enrolled in CS 2440R are expected to do substantial system implementation and conduct rigorous performance analysis for their design projects, and perform graduate-level work to earn th...
