Module Coordinator and Instructor

  • Physical Chemistry (CO-440), B.Sc. Chemistry and Biotechnology

    Introduction to physical chemistry covering thermodynamics, kinetics, intermolecular forces, electrochemistry, and quantum chemistry. Students learn to understand when and how fast chemical reactions occur, and how molecules interact with each other and their environment.

  • Physical Chemistry Lab (CO-446-B), B.Sc. Chemistry and Biotechnology

    Practical introduction to methods used in physical chemistry research, including UV-vis spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, pH and conductivity measurements, and computational methods for studying molecular systems. Students gain hands-on experience with analytical instruments, laboratory documentation, and data analysis.

  • Molecules to Matter (MAM-CO-02), M.Sc. Advanced Materials

    Foundations for understanding molecular and nanoscale systems, covering non-covalent interactions, self-assembly, and their role in the design of soft matter systems including biopolymers, membranes, DNA nanostructures, and functional surfaces. The course connects molecular chemistry with material properties and applications in nanotechnology, biomaterials, and drug delivery.

  • Experimental Techniques (MQLS-CO-03), M.Sc. Quantitative Life Science

    A toolbox of key experimental methods for modern life science research. The module covers the theoretical background, experimental protocols, analysis frameworks, and strengths and limitations of techniques that have driven progress in the life sciences.
