FSK3513 Seminar Course in Cell Physics 2.0 credits
Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
The course encompasses seminars organized by the four groups of the division (cellular biophysics, cell screening and migration, quantum dot development and nanobiophotonics, super-resolution light microscope and nanoscope). The speakers present state-of-the-art and cutting-edge research in their respective areas as well as continguous ones.
Intended learning outcomes
To broaden and deepen the student's knowledge in the different areas of ongoing research of the Division of Cell Physics at the Department of Applied Physics. Upon completion of the course, the student should be able to describe cutting-edge research and technology in a few areas different from his/her own shown during the seminars and identify their connections with other fields of research and technical development carried out by collaborators, competitors and industry.
Literature and preparations
Specific prerequisites
PhD students registered at the Department of Applied Physics, School of Engineering Sciences (SCI) at KTH.
Recommended prerequisites
Equipment
Literature
Provided during the seminar, plus ev. additional self-study material.
Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
Examination
- RED1 - Presentation, 2.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
The attendance lists are filed in by the Cell Physics administrator. The doctoral student requests from the Cell Physics administrator a certificate of attendances, and an examination-seminar Is arranged ad-hoc with the examiner and other students.
Other requirements for final grade
• Attendance rate to the departmental seminars above 70% (per year)
• One oral presentation on specific seminar topics, approved by the examiner, providing a total of 2,0 credits - over one year.
Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination
Opportunity to raise an approved grade via renewed examination

Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
