Courses

Mathematical methods in chemistry

CH-250

This course consists of two parts. The first part covers basic concepts of molecular symmetry and the application of group theory to describe it. The second part introduces Laplace transforms and Fourier series and their use for solving ordinary and partial differential equations in chemistry & c.e.

Molecular quantum dynamics

CH-453

The course covers several exact, approximate, and numerical methods to solve the time-dependent molecular Schrödinger equation, and applications including calculations of molecular electronic spectra. More advanced topics include introduction to the semiclassical methods and Feynman path integral.

Physical Chemistry Seminar 1: Trends

CH-643

Students can learn about the broader research in Phyiscal Chemistry and broaden their horizon beyond their own field by listening to 14 talks by speakers presenting their recent research. The students get the opportunity to also personally meet the speakers and discuss research topics.

Physical Chemistry Seminar 2: Highlights

CH-644

Students can learn about the broader research in Phyiscal Chemistry and broaden their horizon beyond their own field by listening to 14 talks by speakers presenting their recent research. The students get the opportunity to also personally meet the speakers and discuss research topics.

Physical Chemistry Seminar 3: Frontiers

CH-645

Students can learn about the broader research in Phyiscal Chemistry and broaden their horizon beyond their own field by listening to 14 talks by speakers presenting their recent research. The students get the opportunity to also personally meet the speakers and discuss research topics.

Project of Computational chemistry

CH-359

This course exploits modern computational tools in a research project aiming at resolving a chemistry problem by group of two students.
