What is the course about?
The objective of this program is to gain an understanding of the principles behind physics-based machine learning, as well as to explore various cases in which these methods can be applied.
The course consists of two parts: an introductory online course and a workshop held on-site at the Technical University of Aachen, Germany (RWTH Aachen).

Virtual Part - Introductory Course (July 7-11, 2025)
This week, the fundamentals of machine learning and its applications in engineering are introduced.
Topics include data preparation, optimization techniques, and basic machine learning models. Particular emphasis is placed on physics-based neural networks (PINNs), their architecture, and their connection to gradients and differential equations.
The week also includes an introduction to Python and scientific computing tools, with practical demonstrations using Jupyter Notebooks.
In-person workshop in Aachen, Germany (July 14-18, 2025)
During this week, students will apply their new theoretical knowledge in a hackathon-style workshop.
They will be assigned various tasks and problems, which they will solve in a collaborative and informal setting.
The objective of this session is to deepen the skills acquired in the theoretical seminar and share knowledge among participants.
The practical nature of the workshop will also provide a better understanding of the implementation, possibilities, and limitations of physics-based machine learning methods.
Last but not least, the hackathon is an excellent opportunity to solve interesting modeling problems and connect with students and faculty from different countries.
