Master of Science in Chemistry - Theoretical Chemistry

University of Waterloo

Chemistry is a diverse discipline, involving substances in every aspect of life – what we see, eat, smell, touch, and taste every day. With an equal emphasis on theory and practical work, Waterloo's chemistry undergraduate and graduate programs prepare you for a growing number of dynamic career options. You could be searching for the roots of crippling diseases, developing cancer-fighting drugs, or assessing environmental damage. Internally contracted multireference coupled cluster method and normal-order-based automatic code generator. Advances in the density matrix renormalization group method for use in quantum chemistry (spin adaptation, two-body density matrix evaluation, orbital optimization). Development and application of improved models for intermolecular potential energy functions. Dynamical studies of Van der Waals cluster solvation and their spectroscopic signatures. Path integral simulations of quantum fluids. Simulations of doped helium nano-droplets.
