Specialized lecture for BEAM: Supramolecular chemistry

Specialized lecture for BEAM: Supramolecular chemistry

Supervisor: Dr. Mohamed Alaasar
Event Date: 10.10.2022 – 04.02.2023
Venue: VDP2, 2.02
Duration: 9 am – 10:30 am

Supramolecular chemistry, also known as “chemistry beyond the molecule”, deals with the study of molecular recognition and high-order assemblies formed by noncovalent interactions. The molecules that comprise the supermolecule interact with each other via weak interactions such as hydrogen-bonding, halogen-bonding, hydrophobic interactions, and coordination to form new entities with novel properties and functions that cannot be deduced by a simple summation of the properties of the individual molecules. This course is intended to introduce you to the fast-growing field of supramolecular chemistry and to understand the different types of non-covalent interactions that can lead to supramolecules.

The course will deal with the following topics:
– Concepts and types of supramolecular interactions. – Supramolecular chemistry of Life.
– Molecular Interactions in Molecular Recognition.
– Controlling the Molecular Recognition.
– Amphiphilic self-assembly and liquid crystals.
– Chiral self-assembly and mirror symmetry breaking in liquid crystals.

Workshop: Voice and Body (for women only)

Workshop: Voice and Body (for women only)

Event Date: 14.06.2022 – 15.06.2022:

“Integral to voice and body training is the central idea that physical and vocal dynamics are connected to the speaker’s motivation and to the importance of the information being communicated. The trainer has a professional theatre background, which is a unique benefit for the participants to help identify the verbal challenges of each speaker, giving attention to breath, articulation, intonation, volume, modulation and tempo. The Training is given to improve non-verbal aspects such as gesture, positioning, distance, eye contact and relationship with media. The trainer input will provide the opportunity to gain new insights in effective communication and learn how to present yourself more effectively and to make the best impression and strongest impact. Participants monitor their improvement and implement feedback through active role-play exercises in which they present themselves.”
