Location of Chalmers University of Technology
To study real world systems generally involves studying the dynamics of complex systems consisting of many interacting components. Examples of such systems are found in both natural and social sciences and include phenomena such as the global climate, interacting species in ecosystems and the dynamics of financial systems to mention a few.
The aim of this programme is to provide a broad and thorough introduction to the theory of complex systems and its applications to the world around us. The programme is based on a physics perspective with a focus on general principles, but it is also interdisciplinary with courses available in information theory, computer science and optimisation algorithms, ecology and genetics as well as adaptive systems and robotics.
Who should apply
If you are interested in gaining a broad perspective on physical systems and learning about the generality of mathematical modelling and the analytical and computational methods for the study of such systems, CAS is a good programme for you.
Why apply
Training in "computational engineering" teaches students to model and analyse complex systems. Being proficient at computer simulations is very attractive in the job market, for example in industry R&D, finance and in applied and basic research.
Contents
Research connections
The contents of the programme are closely connected to the research on genetics and turbulence, information theory and adaptive systems and robotics performed at Chalmers and the University of Gothenburg.
There are typically a few openings each year for students who have excelled and who want to purse a PhD in complex systems within one of the disciplines. There is also a lively exchange with international research groups and regular guest lectures on current research that is often directly related to the course material.
