As part of the AiRPaDD network-wide training programme, all AiRPaDD Doctoral Candidates recently participated to an introductory training in Computational Chemistry that was held at UPV/EHU premises in San Sebastián (Spain).
The workshop successfully blended theory with practical exercises, allowing students to gain proficiency in Gaussian software and its visualization tools, apply DFT methods to real chemical problems, develop an understanding of molecular quantum mechanics concepts and troubleshoot and refine their computational methods.
This workshop laid a strong foundation for the AiRPaDD Doctoral Candidates’ future work in computational chemistry.
