Block D – Computational Methods

Simona Ranieri Block D
Block D

—> This block is conceived for eager students of Mechatronics Engineering coming from Engineering Sciences or Systems Engineering who are willing to complete their knowledge by acquiring advanced mathematical skills and computing capabilities.

Besides a first advanced course in mathematical analysis addressing complements of complex variable theory and elements of distribution theory, the block provides a second course introducing the Python exosystem for scientific computing along with a third course on data analysis and signal processing techniques for model fitting and parametric estimates or non-linear solving of inverse problems (such as image denoising, source separation, and PSF decomposition).

The fourth course will finally provide a solid knowledge of the theoretical background behind the main Machine Learning (ML) algorithms from Neural Networks to Reinforcement Learning, along with their application (by using the standard libraries in a Python environment) to open physical problems.

Block D aims to prepare professionals who can deal with complex design and managing problems using advanced mathematical tools, yet with an engineering attitude.

Professional opportunities involve R&D divisions in manufacturing or engineering companies that deal with complex computational problems or need advanced mathematical tools.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:
Learning of basic concepts in digital image processing and analysis as a novel measurement system in biomedical fields. The main algorithms will be illustrated, particularly devoted to the mechatronics fields.

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
The student acquires the knowledge related to the possibility to use an image analysis platform to monitor the dynamics of a given phenomenon and to extract quantitative information from digital images such as object localization and tracking in digital videos.

APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
The student acquires the capability to implement the algorithms in Matlab through dedicated lessons during the course to the aim of being able to autonomously develop new codes for the solution of specific problems in different application fields.

MAKING JUDGEMENTS:
The student must be able to integrate the basic knowledge provided with those deriving from the other courses such as probability, signal theory, and pattern recognition. some fundamentals of measurement systems as well as of basic metrological definitions will be provided in support of background knwoledge.

COMMUNICATION SKILLS:
The student solves a written test and develops a project in Matlab that illustrates during the oral exam. The project can be done in group to demonstrate working group capabilities.

LEARNING SKILLS:
Students will be able to read and understand scientific papers and books in English also to deepen some topics. In some cases, students will develop also experimental tests with time-lapse microscopy acquisition in department laboratory.
