All slots taken for Spring 2013 (see here for cuurrent students) - possibility of new projects in Summer 2013

I give projects only to individuals, not to pairs of students although I might agree to two friends doing two projects on related topics - generally with different algorithms.

1. Visualization and preparation of videos and web pages about elementary physics with an emphasis on stero visualization with nvidia cards. See the physics software and animations website for similar pages.

2. Models of materials that can be rotated thru three dimensions can be prepared with a software package written by members of the Computational Physics Group. This package requires more development and is suited to project students with prior knowledge of Mesa or OpenGL. See the AViz homepage for more information.

3. Computer Alchemy, the modeling of materials with molecular dynamics simulations. This is the topic that interests me at this point of time.

   If you would like to learn more about these systems and look at some simple computer demonstrations of the models please contact Dr. Joan Adler in Room 603, ext 3937. You may use the webpage to find me. Projects 1 and 2 require two years of undergraduate physics and enthusiasm for presenting physics and promises help in learning html for preparing websites. These are open to all students at the Technion, project 2 would be especially suitable for a student from materials science, or an engineering faculty.

   Project 3 a requires some familiarity with either FORTRAN or C and will require the student to have or acquire familiarity with UNIX/X11 as well as writing in html. Project 3 will only be given to students who have the grades and potential to remain at the Technion for graduate studies in the Physics Department, with either the Computational Physics group or an experimental group.

   Projects can be given for either 4.5 or 3 nekudot in the project course.

4. An example of a recent project by Lior Metzger, can be viewed here (Preparation of a package for simulating 3d Ising models in the lattice-gas representation.) An extension of this could be another possible new project - requires Statistical Mechanics and Fortran 90 or 95.
