Proposals for Supervising Licencjat and Masters (Magister) projects at TCfA

Nov 2004 - Sep 2005

Projekt licencjat jest w sensie naukowy podobny do projekt magisterski, tylko jest mniej ambitny, np w sensie zrobiony własne kalkulacji. Jednak jest równie ważny że student myśli dla siebie i skeptycznie próbuje rozumieć temat.

Były i aktualne studenci kosmologii w TCfA:

• doktorat - integrowany na CosmoProjects
• StudMagister
• StudLicencjat

Supervisor: B. Roukema (boud at astro.uni.torun.pl)

Number of students: up to 3-4 students is possible

Observational Constraints on Cosmological Parameters

Description:

There are many possible projects which could be done as a master's thesis project, in using publicly available archival data from observational surveys to constrain one or more of the local or global cosmological parameters, either those related to shape (curvature, topology) or maybe also those unrelated to shape ("dark energy" or "dark matter"). The precise projects would be chosen in discussion with the masters students during Nov-Dec 2004. Please see http://adjani.astro.uni.torun.pl/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Cosmo/CosmoProjects for projects Boud is working on and http://adjani.astro.uni.torun.pl/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Cosmo/CosmoNews for ideas on the hottest topics in cosmology research - any of these would be appropriate if the student is sufficiently interested.

Requirements:

• basic knowledge in astronomy, physics, mathematics, computing skills
• desire to measure something about the shape of the Universe and/or dark matter or dark energy
• willingness both to learn from and to teach others interested in observational cosmology at TCfA
• willingness to learn the following practical skills: touch-typing, emacs, \LaTeX, usage of wikis and/or mailing lists for communication
• participation in the "Shape of the Universe" monograph course and/or Bronek Rudak's semester 9 "Kosmologia" course:
  • http://adjani.astro.uni.torun.pl/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Cosmo/MonographCosmo
  • http://www.ncac.torun.pl/~bronek/KOS.html
• Nie ma problemu jeśli student magisterowy lub licjencacki (jeszcze) nie dobrze mówi po angielsku, ale potrzeba znać czytać i rozumieć angielski naukowcy
