By the end of this course students are expected to explain the details of at least one type of energy industry in depth, use effective communications skills for oral presentations while strengthening their skills in working with different sources to develop research and analytical skills in energy industry, write a research proposal to address problems in industry. analyze the modern literature on issues related to application of Energy and ...

Deep learning frameworks are rapidly advancing chemistry by enabling generalizable in silico predictions of numerous chemical quantities. From the accurate prediction of protein folding from only FASTA strings to generative networks that can successfully propose novel drugs to near-instantaneous prediction of molecular HOMO-LUMO gaps, deep learning models are now impacting nearly every domain of chemistry. In this course, students will be exposed to the different deep learning ...

The objective of this course is to introduce students to different aspects of the structure of nanoscale materials (crystal, surface, and electronic structure) from the interdisciplinary point of view. The first part of the course will focus on the surfaces and interfaces, as an integral part of condensed phases, pertaining to nanoscience and nanotechnology. Due to the reduced sizes of nanostructures, ...

An introduction to aqueous solution chemistry, from classical macroscopic descriptions to modern treatments of the properties of electrolytes and non-electrolytes at a molecular level. Synopsis: The purpose of the course is to provide an introduction to aqueous solution chemistry, from classical macroscopic descriptions to modern treatments of electrolytes and non-electrolytes at a molecular level. The properties of aqueous solutions have been the subject of study for ...
