Content
The goal of this course is to broaden the students' horizon by making them familiar with current topics in Physical Chemistry, in particular with ongoing research outside their own field. To this end, the students follow the Physical Chemistry seminar series for one semester (http://isic.epfl.ch/PCseminar) and meet the speakers to discuss their research. As a term paper, the students write reports on four lectures of their choice. The reports should summarize the presentations in a succinct manner and place them within the context of the respective field of research and general developments in Physical Chemistry.
