Advanced Computational Physical Chemistry

TSUCHIMOCHI Takashi
Course content
The fundamental physical laws underlie all chemical phenomena, where individual microscopic particles follow governing equations, leading to collective motion that manifests macroscopic properties. Physical chemistry is the field of study that aims to understand chemistry from a physical perspective. In computational chemistry, governing equations related to phenomena are numerically simulated and solved, which leads to the theoretical elucidation and practical development of these phenomena.

In this course, we will focus on several important themes in the field of physical chemistry. Students will either present or participate in a seminar-style class on their assigned topics.
Purpose of class
To study advanced topics in the field of physical chemistry from a computational chemistry perspective and develop skills for presenting scientific subjects.
Goals and objectives
  1. Learn the fundamental physical principles that govern physical chemistry phenomena.
  2. Learn about chemical simulation techniques.
  3. Acquire skills in presentations and Q&A sessions.
