From Chemistry to Living Materials - Matter & Sound

This course explores the design of new proteins for materials engineering by manipulating vibrations transformed from matter to sound and back. The learning outcomes include understanding the relationship between vibrations and waves, exploring the use of sound in designing materials, and utilizing neural networks and quantum mechanical simulations. The teaching method involves lectures, case studies, experiments, and virtual reality demonstrations. The course is intended for individuals interested in materials science, protein design, engineering, and the intersection of chemistry and sound.
