DESCRIPTION:Prof. Tobias Kippenberg\nFinite element (FEM) simulation is be
 coming one of the most important tools in the optomechanics community — 
 not only to model and understand different complex effects seen in the lab
 \, but also as an increasingly key element for optimizing and designing mo
 re efficient optomechanical systems. The FEM simulation workshop at EPFL o
 ffers a 2.5-day intensive training on the various problems that one may fa
 ce in optomechanical experiment or system design.\nLectures are designed s
 o that students learn how to approach a set of optomechanics-specific prob
 lems using COMSOL\, a powerful and ubiquitous FEM package.  This includes
  understanding the underlying physical model\, step-by-step instructions t
 o implement the model in COMSOL\, and methods to extract and process data 
 from the simulations.  At the end of a lecture\, students will have made 
 a FEM model for the specific problem and simulated it by themselves (it is
  thus required that attendees bring their own computers).\nThe problems an
 d topics chosen for lectures are all real problems faced in the optomechan
 ics community during the experiment and design/optimization phases of rese
 arch.  We also provide a few lectures about tricks and ideas to make more
  efficient and faster simulations. The topics covered in the workshop are 
 shown below.\nRegistration mandatory: Finite Element Modeling Registration
