what is computational chemistry?!

If you're reading this, I hope you are doing well, taking care of yourself, and making efforts to spread positivity during these times. I'm sure the last thing you want to hear about rn is computational chemistry, but hopefully this video makes you smile in some way. I tried to make it fun & intuitive and lmk if you're interested in learning more! :)
if you are not new to chemistry/comp chem: lmk if you like/hate my explanation in this video
if you are new to chem/comp chem: hopefully this vid makes you intrigued just a little bit
I'll try my best to respond:

trust me, before I had even brushed my teeth and do my morning duties, I was wondering "WHAT IS COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY??????" u changed my life

[@rtnjo6936]

I ask about computation neuroscience

[@shalmankhan76]

I am shalman, I am affected by colour vision defect, I am unfit for labaratory, Can i get job in computetional chemistry. Pls instruct me.. i am so tierd

[@mariama8421]

wrote 'code in chemistry' in the search bar bc i couldnt figure out what the fusion of compsci and chemsitry was. your video was highly informative and your jokes are pathetic but made me laugh out loud all the same. when you said computational chemistry uses quantum mechanics i got very excited so thank you for exposing me to this, i am getting ready to watch your other videos. you are compelling and definitely resourceful, keep it going xxx

[@calumpatel4956]

This is fantastic! I've just started doing computational chem, this is a nice way to describe the field!

[@willmcconnell6008]

Great video! I recently joined a comp-chem lab as an undergraduate and this has helped relate a lot of topics. Thanks!

[@edgardojimenez831]

Love your content! I'm in a computational chemistry lab, this helped me so much.

[@khuongpham5516]

Watching this again because I, a first year biomedical engineering student, ended up doing computational chemistry (molecular dynamics specifically)

[@brandenstanley6838]

Your approach to editing is amazing.

[@joedelarios1]

Video about computational chemistry starts at 3:30

[@jonathanchan3087]

Molecular Biology grad here currently in med school. I randomly found your videos and I'm really enjoying your content. Keep it up! 😂

[@OriginaLkrowpy]

your editing is everything

[@victoryolamide9929]

I heard about computational chemistry today for the first time in class. And i'm in love already. Thanks for the video

[@dumitru-claudiusergentu6720]

Only little part of computational chemistry deals with Schrodinger's or Dirac quantum mechanics, almost all industrially-relevant computational chemistry, which heavily involves molecular dynamics simulations, deals with classical mechanics, statistical mechanics, and Newton's equation of motion.

[@extropiantranshuman]

this is why I love nanohub - it's computational chemistry to the max!

[@groinky474]

Hey Megan I really appreciate all these videos discussing Computational Chemistry!! I just got my B.E. in chemical engineering want to ultimately work in CC. Do you have any recommendations as to how I can start gathering relevant experience in CC to help me enter the CC industry? My goal is to make a personal portfolio of CC projects so that I may be considered for professional CC roles. Thanks!

[@abdullahajibaye4349]

What are the core programming languages to learn for Computational Chemistry as an high school grad? I just graduated high school and I'm aspiring to study Chemical engineering for Bachelor's degree and later major in Computational Chemistry. Probably, for master's degree or PhD. So.., I literally don't want to waist my time. Please, kindly make a video on this 🙏🙏.

[@nikossamsung10]

Nice to see that kind of video, from a computational chemist. What kind of software do you mostly use?

[@shreyaswaghmode5870]

Your humor is top notch 🤣😂 BTW loved you content

[@Hello_hi5348]

In USA, can a student do (undergrad in comp science major with chemistry minor ) Computational chemistry Masters ? What Masters/career choice do you suggest for Undergrad in comp sci with chemistry minor. I'm checking this for a student currently in last year of undergrad in a UC college

[@ivandjurdjevic7463]

Hahahahashahh thank you, i mega enjoyed this you deserve so much. you are a legend

[@shahnazparvin5055]

Can anyone here give me some advice because I'm thinking of taking BME. I suck at coding. so is it really required to be good at coding to be able to study BME?

[@senseidele]

Hello! Pls I need computational chemistry software. Help!

[@jacobazurin2012]

Thank you for the helpful video again. Can’t wait to take Chem 4A this fall! :’)

[@MeganAmber]

haha sounds like fun

[@menkiguo7805]

Well, I used to love computer science in high school but once cheated on her with chemistry in AP Chem and felt I am in love with chem as well. Then I decided to date their child, computional chemistry. (Technically, it's a major called computer science and chemistry, I will do comp chem in grad school)

[@nichrun]

60 seconds in and this is the best video of my life!

[@mudit7808]

I am in my 1st year of bachelors in chemical and am looking forward to this field! (since I enjoy both learning programming and my bachelors studies). PS: yes even i have a hard time with pronouncing Schrodinger's equation

[@shahad9401]

Hi, I wanted to ask you about the difference between computational science degree and computational chemistry if there’s any difference you know? Which one would make my life miserable😂

[@hannahtran9637]

Should I go to Vollhardts class if I’m “in the area”?

[@MeganAmber]

l o l why u exposing me like that

[@MuhammadNaeem-il9xo]

A nice way to present

[@rajkinchakrobarty2433]

You forgot the classic venti cup of water, 11 degrees, extra water, no foam, flat lid, and upside down.

[@poppypoppop3231]

bruh im trying to find a module to take on exchange and seeing the dang title makes me not want to take computational chemistry. I'm shocked and pleasantly surprised this exists xD thanks!

[@areebkamal]

This is giving me some serious 2012 KZbin vibes omg

[@nikhileshmaharana4121]

Your content representation is awesome 👌 subscribing you

[@The_Rodney]

Just came from the computational biology video. Aaaand subscribe. Great stuff

[@BiancaWindt]

you sound very very clever😳🤩💗

[@binodlk]

OMG there are cool and fun CC people other than me in the world too 😌😁

[@extropiantranshuman]

I saw the question waht is an electron: it's a fluctuation in the electromagnetic field according to quantum field theory. Let's sing it together! This is my morning wake up :)

[@creativeideas5796]

Is computational chemistry based on only quantum chemistry?

[@a23oj28]

No, most comp chem uses classical / statistical mechanics for simulating larger molecules

[@B_u_L_i]

I will absolutely start using 'what the hartree fock' from now on😂

[@DynamicClassroom]

What are the skills you need to become a Good computational Chemist ??

[@user-ep8kz9fj8t]

If you know the answer by now pls let me know cause I am curious too

[@DynamicClassroom]

@@user-ep8kz9fj8t I'm not a professional in this field but I think you should need -A strong basics Knowledge of Thermodynamics , Chemical Bonding ,Solid State Physics and the most Importantly Quantum Chemistry . Understanding of these topics will help you to understand the theory parts mainly and for Computational work You must need to learn some software ,based on your area ( eg : Gaussian ,Material Studio etc ) And the basics knowledge of Programming Languages like C++,Python and R Will Definitely gonna uses in this area. Search More about it on KZbin and Google .You will definitely get more valuable information .All the best.

[@user-ep8kz9fj8t]

@@DynamicClassroom thanks for the reply:) one more question if you know this... can you still consider becoming a computational chemist if you’re majoring on plain Chemistry right now? like getting bachelors with chemistry major and then studying computational chemistry in graduate school?

[@DynamicClassroom]

@@user-ep8kz9fj8t Yes .I Completed my Major In Physical Chemistry and in my final semester I did a winter project under a CSIR Institute. I did my Project on material science. Drug designing is one of the HOT field which Completely based on Computational Chemistry and I am planning for doing my future studies on this field. Focusing on Basic Programming languages will definitely going to help you in this field .

[@user-ep8kz9fj8t]

@@DynamicClassroom Thank you so much:)

[@zacharyertengrass892]

get a thumbnail creation app on your phone so you can make fancier thumbnails for these videos. they should have 100x the views.

[@MeganAmber]

that's a good idea thx

[@seleldjdfmn221]

Great work. what music do You like? Oh, and happy Hug your cat day! xd
