[BuildMoNa] ATM: Deep Learning/Machine Learning (September 16-17, 2021)

Aims

The course aims at two aspects of machine learning.

The first goal is an introduction to statistical mechanics of learning, which aims at describing the typical learning behavior of neural networks, discussion of the generalization performance of strongly overparametrized neural networks. Information field theoretic description of ultrawide neural networks. The second aim is to give an introduction to machine learning techniques and its applications in natural sciences. It will include fields of image recognition, time series analysis and reinforcement learning with examples and applications of neural networks in fluid mechanics.

Effective Presentation (January 13 – 14, 2022)

Science is mostly production of high quality data. However, presentation of data is arguably of similar importance: after generation of results, you want to convey the information to your fellow scientists, be it in the form of talks and posters at conferences or in manuscript for great publications. Presenting for the lay public is of outstanding importance not only to get understood but to get a job.

Women in Leadership (April 19 and 20, 2021)

Many young scientists will sooner or later act in a leadership role, and first experiences are acquired already during their time as PhD. But what is expected of a good leader? How can I convince others of the competences I already have for this role? And what should be considered to guarantee a good start as a leader? These are the main topics of the first workshop day.

Self-presentation and networking (November 25 – 27, 2020)

Do you find yourself at conferences drinking coffee alone? Do you seem to miss every chance to network? Or do you have the feeling you can’t keep the conversation going or can’t even get it started in the first place? No matter if you answer one of these questions with a clear “yes” or you simply have the feeling that you could improve your selfpresentation and communication skills, then this workshop might be just right one for
you. From the first impression you leave, the conversations that follow, to a friendly follow-up — all of this will be covered during this seminar.

[yDiv] Introduction to career planning (August 6, 2020)

Our partner graduate school yDiv offered a career planning workshop for PhD students in their first year.

Career planning is a process that requires i.a. self-reflection, exploring of options and networking – activities that young researchers should engage in right from the beginning of their PhD project. This short introductory course was designed to give new doctoral researchers an overview of career planning and to create awareness for its importance. The following topics were covered in the course:

  • What is career planning and why think about it now, at the start of your PhD?
  • Where do people with a PhD work and which competences are required?
  • Planning without a target – how can you prepare for your next step, if you don’t know yet what that next step will be?
  • How does career exploration work and how can you set up your own IDP?
