Chemical Modelling

About this programme

The course starts with an introduction to quantum mechanics and statistical thermodynamics, and then goes into the theory for molecular interactions and models describing them with different levels of approximations is introduced. Various physical models are considered covering the length scales from the atomic level to technologically useful magnitudes using multiscale methods. Applications in sustainable material chemistry, as well as in bio- and organic chemistry are discussed. The course includes a project work during which the students will address a chemical problem by simulations and become familiar with modern computational software. The course consists of a theory part with lectures and problem solving exercises (4.5 ECTS) and a project (3 ECTS). All material which is needed is provided during the course. However, this book is recommended if students want to have some extra support or learn more: Course Coordinator Alexander Lyubartsev, email: alexander.lyubartsev@su.se Chemistry Section & Student Affairs Office: chemistry@su.se To follow your passion.
