Additional Info

Please follow the instructions for preparing nomination documents and the visa process in the attached document. This document is intended only for you and your student; please do not include it in the student's nomination.IAESTE provides accommodation in a student dormitory, where interns are housed in shared double rooms with same-sex roommates. If the intern prefers a single room, they are responsible for arranging alternative accommodation independently.

Work description

In our laboratory, we provide opportunities for students to engage in theoretical studies addressing practical scientific challenges. Specifically, students can participate in theoretical simulations and predictions of spectra spanning the entire electromagnetic spectrum. These simulations are grounded in quantum chemistry methodologies commonly implemented in software packages such as Gaussian and Cfour. They offer versatile applications across various scientific domains.For example, students can investigate chemical reactions of small molecules in Earth's atmosphere and exoplanets to elucidate physicochemical conditions in remote environments. Another avenue of exploration involves the precise determination of rovibrational properties of small molecules, catering to the demands of highly resolved microwave spectroscopy. Such analyses often facilitate the discovery of novel species within interstellar environments.Moreover, students have the opportunity to engage in conformational analysis of drugs, enabling the identification of specific molecules or their conformers within forensic materials. This aspect of our research serves as a vital contribution to forensic investigations.
