Lectures summer semester

Structure of Matter (Aufbau der Materie, PC3) (B.Sc. Chemistry)

Target group: Bachelor Chemistry (semester 4)

Format: Lecture and exercise course

Credit points: 6

Language: German

StudIP event number: 1413006

Summary: Fundamentals of quantum mechanics and the structure of matter

Course contents: Fundamentals of the behavior of waves and particles, uncertainty principle, probability amplitudes and wave function, Schrödinger equation, hydrogen atom, structure of the periodic table, chemical bonding, molecular vibrations, spectroscopy.

Molecular Design (M.Sc. Chemistry, AIMS)

Target group: Master chemistry, AIMS

Format: Lecture and computer lab

Credit points: 3

Language: English

StudIP event number: 1413211

Summary: Learn how data science can accelerate the search for functional molecules and materials.

Course contents: Artificial intelligence and data science methods will be introduced, in particular machine learning, sequential optimization, and inverse design. It will be discussed how these methods can be applied in a fully automated fashion to design functional molecules and materials on a computer. The search for reactive species and catalysts for the activation of small molecules such as CO2 and N2 defines the focus of this lecture.
