Students will gain advanced knowledge and practical hands-on experience with agent-based simulations and spatial analysis tools to evaluate hospital layouts from the perspective of end-users.

The course focus is on pre-occupancy evaluation in architecture to support an evidence-based design process. Students are taught a variety of methods such as virtual reality, agent-based simulations and spatial analysis. The course is project-oriented and is open for architecture and STEM students with an interest in interdisciplinary teamwork.

This seminar will introduce key topics, theories and methodology in human-computer interaction (HCI) and usability, with a focus on applying them to real situations.

The course aims at providing students with practical knowledge and skill of processing, interpreting and analyzing empirical educational data, including different lenses through which to view the nature of inquiry in the field, research design, and an overview of quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods research.

The course aims at equipping students with a suite of advanced quantitative and qualitative tools to support their existing research and develop new lines of inquiry in the Learning Sciences. By providing opportunities to analyze empirical educational data, the course will allow students to develop an appreciation for the breadth of methods that can be employed to improve the process of learning

This seminar investigates how algorithmic systems like ChatGPT, capable of linguistic communication — a trait previously unique to humans — challenge traditional notions of human nature and society.

Quantitative user experience research is a human-centered perspective on problems, using large amounts of data to make general conclusions about people and technology. Solving these problems effectively requires a mix of technical skills and critical thinking. This course covers social considerations in quantitative research and the process of creating effective surveys and data logs.

The colloquium provides a forum for researchers and graduate students in cognitive science to present/discuss their ongoing projects as well as jointly discuss current publications in cognitive science and related fields. A subset of the sessions will include invited external visitors presenting their research. Participants of this colloquium are expected to be involved in active research group.
