Aims & Objectives of the Workshop
The last few decades have witnessed a rapid development in the field of computational chemistry, which is now a firmly established and rapidly growing field of chemistry. It has developed into an indispensable tool in the hands of researchers to carry out calculations hitherto unachievable by conventional methods. Spectral profile simulations, modeling and designing molecules, predicting trends in structure activity/property relationships, mapping reaction coordinates and modeling transition states, homology modeling, protein structure visualization & modelling, molecular dynamics simulations, molecular docking, and pharmacophore mapping are just some of the examples highlighting the applications of computational chemistry.
Realizing the potential of computational chemistry in modern research and education, the first Three-Day Computational Chemistry Workshop was organized by our department in January 2014. Encouraged by the positive feedback of participants from our earlier workshop, the Department of Chemistry has decided to conduct another three-day workshop on computational chemistry. This workshop aims to provide theoretical background and hands-on-training for all the participants.
Who should attend?
No prior knowledge about computational chemistry is required for this workshop. The workshop can be attended by students, faculty, and industry personnel from chemistry, biology and physics background.
Skills to be gained at the Workshop
We hope the participants will be able to:

Skills to be gained at the Workshop
We hope the participants will be able to:
- Develop a sound understanding of basic theoretical concepts and principles behind computational chemistry.
- Be familiar with various applications of computational chemistry.
- Get a hands on training on few computational chemistry software.
- Apply few basic techniques to their own research and/or teaching.
