Objectives: In earth sciences, natural resource evaluation, and environmental studies, probabilistic models are essential for predicting spatial phenomena and quantifying uncertainties arising from sparse sampling, measurement errors, or indirect observations. Because spatial observations cannot be considered independent, standard statistical and machine learning approaches are often ill-suited and lack interpretability. This course provides a mathematical introduction to the modeling of spatially correlated data through probabilistic methods, offering a foundational grounding in linear geostatistics and spatial statistics.

Objectives: The goal of the course is to familiarize participants with technologies of the Li-ion battery family as well as with the basics of post-Li-ion battery systems. The overview of the components, measurements, assembly and parameters will be made. After the course, the participants should be able to determine battery parameters/limitations/hazards from their chemical description, match the battery to the requirements (application), and assess if the selection of batteries for a given application is correct.

Objectives: The course will be an introduction to the world of nanoparticles. Students will get acquainted with basic knowledge on nanoparticles with a special emphasis on metal-based ones. Their synthesis and applications will be discussed. Moreover, several techniques allowing their chemical and structural analysis will be presented. In the second part (laboratory part) of the course, students will synthesize nanoparticles of chosen noble metals, characterize them, and utilize them for chosen bioanalytical applications. This will allow to show the influence of their size on the properties.
