Wong Academic year 2021 Starting block 2A Application procedure You apply via OSIRIS Student Registration using OSIRIS Yes Aims Physical Organic Chemistry holds the key to solving complex problems. This course aims to provide insights into the influence of structural variances in organic molecules. Case studies are used to develop quantitative reasoning in the design of so-called ‘structure-property relations’ and to directly link them to solving problems encountered in complex networks (e.g., “how does the living cell work?”, “how do biochemical reactions in a cell become robust?” or “how did metabolic functions originate?”). With the latter, this course thus also aims to demonstrate the general applicability of the methodologies within Physical Organic Chemistry. You will understand that a framework for seeking structure-property relations, surprisingly, can enable you to disassemble a very broad range of scientific puzzles. Examination will be carried out through Problem Solving Assignments and a final (written) exam. Content Assumed previous knowledge This course is only accessible to MSc, PhD and BSc students.
