Teaching

Johannes Voss is regular guest lecturer at Stanford in electronic structure and heterogeneous catalysis classes (CHEMENG-444-01/ENERGY-256-01 and CHEMENG 142/242).

Topics covered include the basics of density functional theory & beyond and how this method can be applied to predict reaction rates, thermodynamic stabilities, and other materials properties.

For information on the accompanying exercises see the TA-maintained website http://chemeng444.github.io (initiated by Charlie Tsai).
