Intended learning outcomes

This course aims at providing students with fundamental concepts, principles, and methods in multiscale modelling. You will learn how to use multiscale modelling methods to study large molecular systems.

For whom: PhD students

Literature and preparations

Specific prerequisites

PhD students who have the fundamental knowledge of molecular modeling, in particular quantum chemistry.

Literature

You can find information about course literature either in the course memo for the course offering or in the course room in Canvas.

Examination and completion

Grading scale

P, F

Examination

  • DEL1 - Participation, 4.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
  • INL1 - Hand in exercise, 2.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
  • PRO1 - Proect work, 4.0 credits, grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

Other requirements for final grade

Attendance on at least 80% of the lectures, finish all the exercises and projects and present the results.
