Study mode Start date Duration
Full-time n/a years: 4
In computational physics, the physical circumstances and the appropriate equations are programmed into a (super) computer which then evolves the physical system to see what happens; thus the computer achieves where traditional analysis cannot; in this way we can conduct virtual experiments to explore the physical phenomena; this course combines knowledge and techniques from physics, mathematics and computing to design and develop numerical models, for example liquid crystals, galaxy formation, the early universe and soft matter physics.
