Overview

They consist of quantum chemistry of molecules and more complex systems (crystals and nanostructures), molecular mechanics, QM/MM approaches, molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo algorithms, QSAR, and computational spectroscopy.

Programming is also included as a basic tool for software development to perform the calculations or to analyse data. Both the basics of the methods and the recent developments are taught. All courses have practical exercises for illustration of the material from the lectures and for mastering the use of professional software packages. The students model and interpret at the molecular level the properties of different moieties – organic, inorganic, or hybrid.
