BIOSCI 702
: Modelling Biological Processes2021 Semester Two (1215)
Modelling and simulation are increasingly important aspects of the biological sciences. A variety of biological modelling approaches are introduced through a series of practical exercises to build and analyse models of biological processes.

BIOSCI 702
: Systems and Models in the Natural Sciences2020 Semester Two (1205)
Modelling and simulation are increasingly important aspects of the natural sciences. A variety of methods for scientific modelling and visualisation, including molecular dynamics, cellular automata, agent-based modelling, and dynamical systems theory will be introduced, along with use of these methods to improve understanding of complex (biological) systems on wide-ranging scales, from interacting molecules to evolving populations.
