Teaching
Contents |
At present and from time to time
- Aalto physics colloquium
- Nanoseminar and Nano journal club, a seminar series on nanoelectronics. Nowadays the seminar organizer is Sorin Paraoanu.
- Nanoelectronics course, a lecture course on nanoelectronics. Find its lecture notes by clicking here and getting the user name/password from Tero. (Firstname.Surname@tkk.fi). The contents of the lecture notes are here. The last time this course was lectured was in fall 2010 and the next time will likely be spring 2012.
Old courses
- Tfy-44.172 Materials physics seminar "Modern Applications of Josephson junctions.
- A short seminar series on dissipation in quantum mechanics
Courses I have tutored
- Tfy-44.140 Quantum Computing. There I also supervised and mostly edited a collection of student essays on physical realizations of quantum computing.
- Theoretische Physik F - Statistische Physik, a course on Statistical physics at the University of Karlsruhe (in German).
- Tfy-44.126 Kvanttimekaniikka I - course Quantum Mechanics I on the basics of quantum mechanics (in Finnish)
- Tfy-44.139 Kvanttimekaniikka IV - course Quantum Mechanics IV on quantum field theory
- Tfy-44.135 Kvanttimekaniikka III - course Quantum Mechanics III on group theory
- Computing courses: Tietotekniikka A (Basic course on Fortran), Computer as a tool (twice).
