Methodology
Each three-hour session will consist partly of a lecture given by the professor and partly of a practical session, where students will try to solve problems (related to the subject of the day) under the professor's supervision. There will also be some classroom discussion. In order to further improve understanding of the taught material, homework will be assigned after every session. There will be two interim tests after each of the first two weeks, and a final exam at the end of the module.
Grading
David Zmiaikou graduated from the Ecole Polytechnique in France, and obtained his Ph.D. degree at the University Paris-Sud under the supervision of Professor Jean-Christophe Yoccoz (Fields Medal).
After that, he did his postdoctoral research in Mathematics in Rio de Janeiro, Vienna, Zurich, Bures-sur-Yvette and Bonn, and worked in DNA Analysis at Sanger Institute near Cambridge.
