As a PhD student, it is important that I continuously improve on my scientiifc knowledge. This means taking some modules offered by the Chemistry Department and other departments, if they offer any relevant modules. These are normal modules that undergraduates also take as part of their degrees.

This is the space where I share my condensed notes and any other resources I found useful for these modules. There are also some tips based on what worked for me to deal with certain problems or challenges and practical examples. All the pages are "comment enabled" so, once more, questions and suggestions are welcome!

This module is concerned with the symmetry of molecules and the applications of this knowledge to other chemical problems such as chemical bonding, molecular vibration and electronic transitions, for example.

It is a fascinating, "puzzle-like" module, however it can sometimes be quite challenging. To me, the biggest challenge is to vizualize things in 3D - my brain just simply doesn't work that way! So, if you are like me on this one, I advise you to treat your chemistry model kit as your best friend for this module.

If you are in desperate need for help, I can try to answer your questions - comment or drop me an e-mail and I will reply as soon as I can.
