Teaching
Prof. Rosi has taught the following courses:
- Chemistry 2120: Descriptive Inorganic Chemistry (Graduate Level) This course is divided into three main sections: introductory material including a primer on Group Theory, coordination chemistry, and main group/organometallic chemistry. Examples from the primary literature of modern inorganic chemistry will be used throughout the semester to supplement the course materials. We will pay particular attention to the inorganic chemistry of both supramolecular and solid-state materials, when relevant.
- Chemistry 1130: Inorganic Chemistry (Senior Undergraduate Level) This course is divided into three main sections: group theory/MO theory, coordination chemistry, and organometallic chemistry. A large component of the course is dedicated to understanding bonding theories and using these theories to predict the structure, reactivity, and properties of inorganic compounds. In addition, a component of the course deals with the applications of inorganic chemistry in industry and in modern areas of chemical research, including materials chemistry and nanoscience.
- Chemistry 1700: Undergraduate Research/Writing Seminar In this course, other faculty members present research seminars. The students are required to write a short paper on one of the faculty members whose research they find particularly appealing.
Prof. Rosi has given guest lectures in the following courses:
- Atoms, Molecules, and Materials (a course on nanoscience taught by Prof. Star) This lecture focuses on the rational design and synthesis of molecule-based solid-state porous materials.
