Within the field of engineering physics, we offer two courses - below, you will find more information about each course.
Please check the individual course descriptions for possible prerequisites and remember to see at which campus it is offered.
CubeSat 101
The main objective of the course is to introduce the students to the concept of new space and CubeSat mission thereby allowing them to follow a career with in the space industry. In the course the students will be introduced to the basic concepts of designing, building and operating a CubeSat.
The students will be selected so they compose a broad cohort covering subjects like, Physics, Astronomy, Data Science, Geology, Biology, Engineering and related subjects thereby allowing the students to be trained in working in an interdisciplinary environment as is characteristic for the (new) space sector. The course is part of the Danish Student CubeSat Program (DISCO), but participation in DISCO is not a requirement for taking the course.

Introduction to Nano-optics
The science and engineering associated with light-matter interactions in nanostructured materials is of crucial importance both in next-generation photonic technologies and in fundamental explorations at the boundary of classical and quantum physics. This course introduces tools used to model and understand the behavior of light in atoms and materials that are structured on small scales compared with the free-space optical wavelength, and is intended for students with a background in the physical sciences or engineering with a familiarity of basic electromagnetism and quantum mechanics.
We will review simple concepts of electromagnetism, relating far and near-field microscopy, propagating and evanescent waves, as well as linear and nonlinear response theory based on classical and quantum mechanical approaches. These concepts will then be applied to study light-matter interactions in quantum light emitters and low-dimensional systems, with special emphasis on plasmon- and exciton-polaritons in 2D materials (e.g., graphene or atomically-thin semiconductors) for applications in optical sensing, thermo-optical phenomena, all-optical transistors, quantum light generation, and quantum information technology.
