Explore the current and future impact of human activity on our environment from a chemical perspective. Analyze the chemistry behind topics such as the ozone hole, air pollution, climate change, fossil fuels and other power sources, and water purification.
This course deals with the principles and fundamentals of modern instrumentation in chemical analysis. The content involves quantitative analytical separation and spectroscopy, theoretical and practical aspects of instrumental techniques, and determination of metals and small molecules.
This quarter course focuses on the phenomenon of light interaction with solids. It covers several core topics on the optical properties of materials. It provides a fundamental understanding on how luminescence (usually at visible region) is generated when a material is excited by an external source.
