(*)Upon completing the course, students will possess the following skills. They are able to
- plan a sequence of numerical and/or analytical calculations aimed at the characterization of the electronic structure of molecular systems (k2/k3);
- determine/optimize the geometry of molecular systems and conduct calculations of potential energy surfaces to assess coupled dynamics of electrons and nuclei (k3/k4/k5);
- analyze and summarize the obtained results in a report (k4/k5);
- critically discuss the results, also in the context of the scientific literature (k5).
