B.A. (Moderatorship) in Chemistry with Molecular Modelling: Chemical Sciences

Trinity College Dublin the University of Dublin

Chemistry with molecular modelling is a chemistry-based creative-science course that is used to develop everything from new materials such as superconductors for new batteries, to new drug molecules for the pharmaceutical industry. Without it, many modern science disciplines such as materials science, molecular biology and environmental science would not be possible. Chemistry with molecular modelling embeds computermodelling techniques. Advancements in molecular modelling have led to an explosive growth in a range of applications. The modelling aspects of this course focus on modelling the structure and reactivity of molecules and solids including-The simulation of the structure and properties of materials and nano-materials, including oxides, semiconductors and catalysts.Modelling of how electrons are arranged in materials and how they behave during chemical reactions.Modelling organic and bio-organic molecules, including DNA, proteins, drug molecules and computational drug design.The theory and implementation of different approaches to modelling materials.
