Course abstract
This course is intended for final year BSc (in Chemistry) as well as for MSc (in Chemistry) and PhD (in Chemistry) students and it is assumed that no previous knowledge of the subject is required. Moreover, this course demonstrates the form physical and statistical basis of thermodynamics by showing how the properties of macroscopic systems are direct consequences of the behaviors of their elementary constituents. Thus this course will give the students a broader spectrum of skills as well as a better understanding of the physical bases.
Course Instructor
Prof. Sandip Paul
The broad area of instructor's teaching and research interest is statistical mechanics and its applications to chemistry and biology. The instructor completed his Ph.D. in computational chemistry from Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. Later he worked with Prof. Gern Patey of University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada and with Prof. Max Berkowitz of University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, USA for his postdoctoral research. Soon after postdoctoral research experience, he joined in the Department of Chemistry, Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati as a faculty member. Understanding the effect of osmolytes on the protein conformation, the use of hydrotrope molecules to enhance the aqueous solubility of sparingly soluble drug molecules etc. is main interest of instructor’s research group. The instructor has published 64 journal papers as of now.More info
