A two-week-long school will provide an interactive experience with hands-on research involving tabletop experiments with real-time computer data acquisition and associated computational modeling. Lectures and hands-on experiences will focus on complex systems in the physical and life sciences. This research is inherently interdisciplinary, and topics will range from biological networks to spatial patterns in fluids to laser chaos. The school faculty will be eminent scientists who have conducted frontier table-top research published in leading international scientific journals such as Nature, Science, and Physical Review Letters.
While many areas of research now involve large numbers of collaborators using very expensive instrumentation, the Hands-on School is focused on frontier research that can be conducted by individuals or small groups using rather modest instrumentation. Examples will be taken from research of the faculty members, who will lecture and lead small groups in laboratory sessions involving running experiments and performing associated mathematical and computational modeling.
