Nesbitt Group Seminar
The Nesbitt group meets for highly interactive weekly seminar opportunities to discuss recent progress on research, pedagogical talks, and papers in the literature. Anyone interested is welcome to attend! The time and place for these seminars may vary semester to semester, but currently is JILA X590 on Thursdays from 4:00 - 5:30 PM.
Current Course:
CHEM 5581: Introductory Quantum Chemistry
Course Description: Lecture: Basic principles and techniques of quantum mechanics with applications to questions of chemical interest. Quantum dynamics of atoms, molecules, and spin; electronic structure of atoms and molecules. Prerequisites: Two semesters of physical chemistry and graduate standing, or instructor consent. Restricted to Graduate Students only.
Recent Courses:
CHEM 5541: Chemical Dynamics
CHEM 5511: Mathematical Methods in Chemical Physics
There are also opportunities throughout the year for students and postdocs interested in other educational activities and science outreach.
The Physics Frontiers Centers (PFC) program supports university-based centers and institutes where the collective efforts of a larger group of individuals can enable transformational advances in the most promising research areas. The program is designed to foster major breakthroughs at the intellectual frontiers of physics by providing needed resources such as combinations of talents, skills, disciplines, and/or specialized infrastructure, not usually available to individual investigators or small groups, in an environment in which the collective efforts of the larger group can be shown to be seminal to promoting significant progress in the science and the education of students. PFCs also include creative, substantive activities aimed at enhancing education, broadening participation of traditionally underrepresented groups, and outreach to the scientific community and general public.
