Instructor
Prof. Ranjith P.
Motivation
The course covers many useful modelling techniques like Monte Carlo Simulations, Langevin Simulations, Reaction Diffusion Models etc, which can be used to model complex processes in many fields including chemical engineering
Prerequisites
Basic coding skills
Course Content and Structure
Introductions to different types of simulations-Molecular Dynamics, Monte Carlo and Langevin dynamics simulations.
Introductions to stochastic processes in biology and Langevin equations.
Examples of simple models to understand different types of biological processes such as Simple epidemic model and reaction-diffusion models.
Lastly, we looked at research papers that used these modelling techniques.

Feedback on lectures, tutorials and exams
Lectures were extremely interactive and easy to follow. There were 3 programming assignments, midsem and endsem. The assignments were quite interesting. Both midsem and endsem were quite straightforward. Attending lectures regularly and doing all the assignments should be enough to do well in the course.
