Research Projects

A Research Project is an elective course. It is designed to train outstanding students in independent work of experimental or theoretical research in the last year of their studies. The students work closely with faculty members, who give them a subject for the project. Each student conducts the research under the guidance of a faculty member and summarizes its results in a final report, which is submitted to his/her advisor.
