Selected topics of current research interest in Chemical Physics not covered in the core curriculum.

This course will provide a hands-on introduction to this subject using a combined guided and open-ended approach. In particular, the course will: 1) discuss important fundamental principles and techniques commonly used in experimental physical chemistry/chemical physics; 2) provide practice exercises (take-home kits with fundamental electro-optical components, an Arduino microcontroller, and an introduction to programming and data acquisition); and 3) provide guidance and an opportunity to design and conduct your own experiment. The course content will be split 50:50 between electronics and optics/experimental design, combining physical principles and experimental methods and apparatus to solve interesting and useful problems.

This seminar series provides graduate students with the opportunity to learn about contemporary research in Physical and Theoretical Chemistry and hone their skills as scientific communicators. It also serves as a forum for MSc students to present their exit seminar, and for PhD students to present their research (typically in Years 2 and 4 of their program). Seminars will also be given by experts in the field on a range of associated topics. Students are also expected to attend Departmental Colloquia sponsored by faculty in Physical Chemistry or Chemical Physics. Relevant seminars and colloquia from other chemistry disciplines may occasionally be recommended. Training in the preparation and delivery of a research seminar will be provided.

The seminar series offers an opportunity for graduate students to practice their presentation skills in a more formal setting, as well as providing a venue to learn from more senior speakers who are experts in various aspects of environmental chemistry. MSc students will present their exit seminar (typically in Year 2 of their program) and PhD students will present their research proposal as part of the breadth requirement (typically in Year 2 of their program). Students are also expected to attend environmental chemistry-themed Departmental Colloquia as part of this course.

The purpose is to call attention to a student's performance in research to the same extent that course work is reported on a transcript. The grade will have significant impact and supervisors are recommended to discuss the grade assigned with the student. The grade does not replace the required annual meeting and report of the advisory committee for PhD students. The grade should reflect the degree of progress and quality of performance with regard to the stage of the program of the student. Students in the program are graded twice a year. Students in the first year are generally evaluated at the end of their 8th month of registration and semi-annually after that.
