Course overview and goals
To train global-minded talent in response to globalization, the School of Science provides the students with the international exchange program to interact with foreign students and researchers. In 2024, Prof. O. Dopfer at TU Berlin (laser spectroscopy of molecular clusters), Dr. Jer-Lai Kuo at Institute of Atomic and Molecular Sciences, Academia Sinica in Taiwan (Anharmonic vibrational analyses by first-principle calculation, chemical dynamics) and Prof. M. de Vries at UC Santa Barbara (laser spectroscopy for excited state dynamics) will give a three-day intensive course on cutting edge of experimental and theoretical molecular science.
Course description and aims
The goal of this course is to understand the frontiers of experimental and theoretical molecular science through interaction with top international researchers.
