M. Sc. Students
Current Aspects of Theoretical Chemistry and Theoretical Physics
This course for M. Sc. students (3rd semester) will be taught by lecturers of the "Center for Multiscale Theory and Computation" (CMTC). Additional contributions to this course by other lecturers are possible. Interested PhD students are cordially invited to participate.
The modul is available each winter term.
Date and location of the Kick-off meeting for the next (winter) term (lectures 3-6):
TBA, Room 519 at OC/BC I (seminar room AK Neugebauer)
During the kick-off meeting the dates and actual topics will be presented/determined.
Please register via email to j.neugebauer@uni-muenster.de .
