Research Techniques in Cell Biology (CELL0018)

Students will attend the weekly seminar series in either CDB OR in the LMCB. In addition students will attend around five 2-hour cell biology tutorials as well as a series of workshops on cutting-edge techniques in cell biology. The tutorials can be scheduled during the first or second term depending on student workload. Assessment of student performance is entirely via coursework, a 'News and Views’ type report on the content of one of the seminars or tutorials, and a review of an experimental technique and its contribution/potential contribution to cell biology. Students will attend the Skills Exchange Workshop in the LMCB, a post-doc/PhD student led workshop discussing technical issues with new techniques being used in the Division.

Urban Railway Planning and Analysis (CEGE0106)

The student will gain basic data analysis and modelling skills to perform urban railway planning, operation management and engineering. Through the module, the student will understand how to conceptualise, analyse and model complex railway systems. The module focuses on analytical and modelling skills required for urban railway planning and analysis. The contents can include: timetabling, train operation models and simulation, passenger crowd modelling, performance analysis and evaluation. The module includes guest lectures by the urban railway practitioners.

Learning Outcomes

Conceptualise and model the operations, users, and business impacts of urban railway systems in pragmatic and systematic ways.
	Apply existing models and analytical methods to solve real problems of urban railways while appreciating the problem nature.
	Use the above skills in their day-to-day work in urban railways
