The purpose of this class would be to identify the level of the student, identify missing knowledge, set target level and gradually and systematically fill in the gaps. This can be done in the following areas:

1) Mechanics (physics)
2) Electromagnetism (physics)
3) Atomic physics
4) Infinitesimal calculus: derivatives, integration, differential equation (math)
5) Probability theory (math)
Extra information
The class will be in pen and paper.

About Me
I am a classical teacher: I do not use plenty of modern technology in my teaching. For the math, physics and statistics classes I consider it more than sufficient to rely on pen and paper. In my opinion, in those fields understanding comes from solving problems and discussing. My sessions usually consist of solving a few problems and practicing explaining the steps that we followed. I also give a small homework at the end of each session. I require that students do their homework prior to each session.
Education
B. Sc. in Physics (2010) - Jacobs University Bremen
M. Sc. in Physics (2013) - EPFL
PhD (ongoing) - UNIL (topic: Architectural process models of decision making)
Experience / Qualifications
During my Master studies, I gave private lessons in Physics and Math to a high school student. During my PhD studies, I have taught tutorials and given lectures to Master-level statistics courses three years in a row.

This class will teach highly specialized knowledge of how to construct cognitive models using the ACT-R cognitive architecture. It will consist in teaching basic Common Lisp (a programming language). We will then go through the tutorial of ACT-R, whereby we explain in detail how and why each of its components work. This class will be especially interesting to Bachelor and Master students in Psychology and Bachelor and Master students in Neuroscience interested in Cognitive Neuroscience.

This course will be of interest to Bachelor students, who are struggling with their Statistics courses and need additional time to digest the basic concepts in Statistics. The purpose of this class would be to identify the level of the student, identify missing knowledge, set target level and gradually and systematically fill in the gaps.

Hi! I am currently an AI Scientist at a US-based company working on cutting-edge AI applied to molecular biology. This is the topic that won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry (shared by D. Baker, J. Jumper, D. Hassabis).

Previously, I was a post-doctoral researcher in computational biophysics, machine learning and computational biology at EPFL. I maintain two Python libraries for Topological Data Analysis and pyflagser.

I have previously been a post-doctoral researcher in Mathematical Physics at the University of Bern, where my research was concerned with the interplay between quantum mechanics and Einstein’s theory of general relativity.

I have been teaching at various levels since I was a PhD student at the University of York (UK), and more recently I was part of the cutting-edge educational project Isaac Physics in Physics/Maths/Chemistry at the University of Cambridge.

Here is my teaching experience so far:

- As a PhD student, I taught seminars in several of the undergraduate modules taught by the Department of Mathematics. In total, I have around 500 contact hours of experience in seminar teaching and marking, all of which I have found to be very rewarding.

- As a PhD student, I jointly ran a course for talented high school student wishing to be admitted at high-rank universities, and in particular wishing to pass interviews and the STEP admission paper for entry at Cambridge.

- As part of the Isaac Physics project, I created or helped create some of the online content such as theory pages, problems and books. In particular I helped put together a book on GCSE physics and one on A-level chemistry. Again as part of Isaac Physics, I gave seminars to a variety of high school students and interacted with local teachers to communicate the Isaac Physics philosophy and methodology. I also have some experience giving online YouTube webinars.

- Throughout, I have been offering one-to-one tuition to A-level/IB students, university students and adult casual learners.

I am happy to travel within about 4-5km of my postcode 1008 in Prilly. Alternatively, I can offer webcam lessons.

A student at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), I am currently in BA5 in the IC (computer science) faculty.

I have been giving private lessons since 2018 in mathematics, physics, chemistry and life sciences.

Holder of a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Sciences since summer 2021, I completed a 3-month internship in a hospital environment in the psychiatric sector and basic research in neuroscience.

I have also been giving private lessons in mathematics and physics for 8th grade students at the gymnasium or in preparation for their maturity for 6 years. Many of my students have an ADHD profile, and I always enjoy adapting to the needs of each person, maintaining DYNAMICS in the course and doing interactive exercises so that the knowledge sinks in better. ..
I love teaching, making people understand and seeing that moment of light on the student's face for whom everything becomes clear!

Dynamic, I am myself a studious and serious student. I have gone through the challenges and stress of exams and competitions many times.

--> My goal is to give you confidence and provide you with the right method to succeed in your course.
