Education


Professor Tafti engages students in several courses outside of the lab for both graduate and undergraduate students in chemistry and physics departments. Additionally, Tafti Lab offers several resources for research such as facilities, lab instructions, and more.

Course Offerings

A new cross-disciplinary course will be presented in September of 2016 titled: From bonds to bands by Professor Fazel Tafti. The course will be open to graduate students and seniors from both chemistry and physics department. The syllabus includes topics from solid state chemistry, material science, and condensed matter physics. The course will integrate research and education by making a loop between mathematical rigor, intuitive understanding, and the interpretation of experimental data. The course itself is an experiment in novel methods of teaching that emphasize on developing the skills and the knowledge required for research instead of developing formalism.
