Description
This course, for graduate students, encompasses topics in fundamental and applied photochemistry and photophysics from the fields of organic chemistry and chemical biology. Key topics and concepts will include basic photophysics, interactions of light with matter, UV-Vis absorption and emission spectroscopy, energy transfer, kinetics/dynamics, Jablonski diagrams, electron transfer, organic photochemistry, and applications in organic chemistry and chemical biology. These topics and concepts will be covered in the context of frontier applications including synthetic chemistry organic photochemistry, molecular imaging, and optogenetic tools among others.

Description
This course examines the structure and organization of the chemical literature and introduces techniques of searching this literature, focusing on the logic and thought processes necessary for effective information retrieval. Each technique is illustrated using information tools available at the University of Pennsylvania, and we take an "under the hood" look at the organization and functionality of each tool introduced. Students should choose a course section based on their preferred area of chemistry research: organic, inorganic, biological, and physical chemistry; all four sections are taught at a level appropriate for graduate students and advanced undergraduates. Topics vary by section, but all students learn the basics of subject, author, structure, and reaction searching, and a unit on ethics in publication and scholarly communication completes the course.

Description
This course is broken into two sections: (1) optics, and (2) theory of spectroscopy including the discussion of techniques and examples. In the first section you will be introduced to both linear and nonlinear optics, through thinkling about how to design optical components in the laboratory setting. the second part of the course is a more traditional spectroscopy course, where different spectroscopies in the visible and infrared spectral region will be discussed. This part of the course will focus on understanding what we can learn from using specroscopy and what sort of dynamical processes can be observed with different spectroscopic techniques. Topics to be covered include, but are not limited to: optics, time-dependent perturbation theory, lineshapes, density matrix, group theory, selection rules.
