Chemistry in Computers

3 Credits

This course focuses on how modern computational methods are used to understand the properties of molecules and materials. Computational chemistry is used to detangle complicated experiments and to provide insights into the fundamental physics of a broad range of systems including atoms, organic molecules, proteins, nanomaterials, electronic and photoactive materials. This course will cover the assumptions, methodology, and applicability of a cross section of modern computational methods (including DFT and MD).
