Literature Seminar A (Young Chemist Colloquium) is an introductory course that outlines an English seminar program to host doctoral candidates and postdoctoral researchers from Department of Chemistry to share their excellent research results. This will promote the culture of joint research within the department and help career development as next-generation chemists.

This special lecture series aims to provide graduate students and young researchers an access to cultivate international communication skills through active discussions. This will also encourage scientific interaction and facilitate the flow of ideas among graduate students and speakers to develop their skill sets required to build future professional relationships and new research opportunities.

[Prof. Park's message]
Through this course, you will be given top-notch research talks by peer students and postdoctoral scientists. In an informal setting, you are encouraged to interact with speakers and develop skill sets required to comprehend research far off from your own and communicate with peers to create new research opportunities. This course aims at cultivating the communication and evaluation skills for the students by listening to the presentation given by other students. The students are encouraged to raise questions and comments.

No prerequisites. Note that this course can be a one-time substitute for CHEM809 course: the Colloquium (초청세미나). In case you cannot enroll because of the enrollment cap (20 students), please talk to Prof. Park by email.

A few more details of the course are as follows:
1. Course Name: Literature Seminar A & B (Young Chemist Colloquium), 문헌세미나 A & B (차세대 화학자 콜로키움).
2. Literature Seminar B will be given in the fall semester.
3. Speakers for Literature Seminar A and B

- Literature Seminar B: 12 groups of Kimoon Kim, Wonjong Kim, Jaiwook Park, Changill Ban, Kyo Han Ahn, Young Ho Rhee, Eunsung Lee, Hyun-suk Lim, Young-Tae Chang, Seung Hwan Cho, Hyung Min Chi, Seung Jun Hwang

Grade will be given by S/U (pass/fail)
Attendance and participation in discussion session are the criteria for grading.
You will get Pass (S) if:
1) Less than three absence (up to two absence) without notification to instructor. Attendance will be checked by the lunch box pickup sheet.
2) All students are required to give at least 1 question within the first half and the second half of the semester each. (total 2 questions in semester)

Abstracts of presentations will be provided in advance.

As this course is formatted as an expanded group meeting that can be found in a typical chemistry research lab, the seminar will be given in a traditional on-site meeting at Room 400.

This course will be run by three co-instructors: Dr. Kyoungchul Park (Postdoctoral Researcher, Email: kcpark33@postech.ac.kr), Shinhyeop Kim (PhD Candidate, Email: kshyeop@postech.ac.kr), and Prof. Sarah Park. Each seminar session will be chaired by Dr. Park or Shinhyeop Kim. Light lunch box will be provided before each session. Please feel free to contact the instructors for any inquiry.
