Jérôme Waser

This course comprises of two parts. The bases of the thermodynamics of equilibria and of the kinetics of reactions are introduced. The first notions of quantum chemistry on electrons and bonds, exemplified in organic chemistry, are presented in the second part.

Advanced general chemistry II

Fundamental knowledge on the reactivity of organic compounds and their identification by mass spectrometry, IR spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance.

Sustainable chemistry and engineering in Industry

In the course given by experts from the Swiss Chemical industry, the students will be introduced in key concepts of sustainable chemistry and chemical engineering of industrial relevance. They will be able to learn from real hands-on problems and to better understand the challenges faced in industry
