Faculty First Year Seminars 197CHEM4 - Methds & Appl of Elctronc Strc

Theory and use of electronic structure calculations for performing research. This FFYS is a research skills colloquium, where students design and execute an original research project using original primary data they generate. The focus will be on posing good scientific questions, designing experiments to test hypotheses, analyzing results with scientific rigor, and communicating insight in relevant and meaningful ways. In a series of weekly meetings, students will alternately study the theory of electronic structure calculations and execute independent research projects using existing research tools to answer chemically relevant questions.
