    Radiotherapy is a medical domain characterized by close cooperation between physics and medicine. In the vast majority of cases, patients are irradiated with a linear accelerator. The goal here is to irradiate the target region as precisely as possible and to affect as little surrounding tissue as possible. Each patient receives an individual treatment plan. The process by which the linear accelerator is configured for the radiation treatment is called radiation treatment planning. The aim of the module is to provide students with a basic understanding of the theoretical principles of radiation treatment planning as well as to demonstrate different treatment planning techniques using practical examples. The module includes 8 lectures and 2 practical sessions. The practical sessions take place at Saturdays.

    • PD Dr. Jan Friedrich
    • Dr.-Ing. Janka Lengyel

    Thursday: 10:00 - 12:00, weekly (from 09/04/26)

    The goal of this lecture is to get acquainted with prevalent concepts for dynamic systems. Particular emphasis lies on the interpretation of certain non-linear deterministic systems with respect to their fixed points (stationary or equilibrium solutions) as well as their sensitivity with respect to initial conditions (characterization via Lyapunov exponents). The evolution of fixed point leads to the catastrophe theory. The time evolution of non-stationary and non-linear system leads to chaos. Different routes to chaotic regimes will be discussed and put into the context of applications such as coupled generators in wind energy systems. The concept of fractal measures will be discussed at selected examples (Cantor set, Koch curves, etc.), which serves for the characterisation of chaotic attractors but also for fractal geometries like boarder lines, surfaces, turbulence or boundaries of basins of attraction. Ziel dieser Vorlesung ist es, gängige Konzepte für dynamische Systeme kennenzulernen. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Interpretation bestimmter nichtlinearer deterministischer Systeme hinsichtlich ihrer Fixpunkte (stationäre oder Gleichgewichtslösungen) sowie ihrer Empfindlichkeit gegenüber Anfangsbedingungen (Charakterisierung über Ljapunov-Exponenten). Die Entwicklung von Fixpunkten führt zur Katastrophentheorie. Die zeitliche Entwicklung von nicht-stationären und nicht-linearen Systemen führt zum Chaos. Verschiedene Wege zu chaotischen Regimen werden diskutiert und in den Kontext von Anwendungen gestellt (z. B. gekoppelte Generatoren in Windenergieanlagen). An ausgewählten Beispielen (Cantor-Menge, Koch-Kurven, etc.) wird das Konzept der fraktalen Maße diskutiert, das zur Charakterisierung von chaotischen Attraktoren, aber auch von fraktalen Geometrien wie Grenzlinien, Flächen, Turbulenzen oder Grenzen von Anziehungsgebieten dient.

Furthermore, the students will learn interpretations of biological and artificial intelligence based on state-of-the-art Machine Learning models. Contents: This course builds up on the basic models and methods introduced in introductory Machine Learning lectures. Advanced Machine Learning models will be introduced alongside methods for efficient parameter optimization. Analytical approximations for computationally intractable models will be defined and discussed as well as stochastic (Monte Carlo) approximations. Advantages of different approximations will be contrasted with their potential disadvantages. Advanced models in the lecture will include models for clustering, classification, recognition, denoising, compression, dimensionality reduction, deep learning, tracking etc. Typical application domains will be general pattern recognition, computational neuroscience and sensory data models including computer hearing and computer vision.

    • Prof. Dr. Joachim Peinke

    Tuesday: 16:00 - 18:00, weekly (from 07/04/26)

    The aim is to get an understanding of the the complex relation between CO2 climate and our energy society. An approach based an objective physical or technical aspects will be worked out. Our energy consumption not only has an impact on the environment and raises questions about the finite nature of resources, but has also become an urgent political issue. In this seminar, we would like to approach this topic from the perspective of the natural sciences. The aim is to use our technical understanding to shed light on public and political statements in order to achieve a more objective assessment. The aim is also to find out what our contribution to the general social discussion can be. The seminar is open for ideas of the participants.

    The participants are actually making a distance from their daily own research thread and implementation towards a wider perspective. They pursue other topics of colleagues and related scientists, which seem to be outside the personal scope or interest, and will yet contribute useful commentary and suggestions. To this, we shall seek literature and pursue intrinsically-motivated study in neighboring and overarching fields of research and education. The results of the study will be grouped systematically and presented in the seminar accordingly. The participants cooperatively work on consensus regarding the scientific merit of publications in terms fundamental relevance or potential utility for own scientific generalization. The themes of the seminar comprise the whole bandwidth of scientific literature on signal processing, machine learning and acoustics with applications in speech technology and hearing aids, for instance, single- and multichannel noise reduction, acoustic sensor networks, digital speech communication, binaural transmission and perception. The graduate participants prove the enhanced perspective obtained by the seminar by enhanced motivation and practice for proposal writing. The undergraduate participants can deliver an oral examination or contribute a formal presentation on a given topic.

    Networks are everywhere. Examples include the internet on which you are reading this text, the power grid that delivers electricity to your home, the food webs which form the backbones of ecosystems, the social networks which allows opinions, ideas and diseases to spread among humans and the networks of biochemical reactions that sustain all life on earth. In this course we will understand how network thinking can be used to make sense of the many complex processes around us. Along the way we will be drawing on ideas from Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Ecology and Sociology. The lectures will revolve around a real world examples that pose specific challenges. These range from finding the shortest path to a destination to analyzing the stability of complex ecosystems. We will then discover broadly applicable methods to overcome these challenges and in every case we will be able to apply the methods to small examples with just pen and paper. The course will equip you with a set of tools that you can use to understand complex systems. We will build up an understanding why these tools work and which lines of thinking could have led to their discovery. In this way we will learn how to think about complexity to develop new tools and overcome new challenges.
