Dr. Yildirim teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in physical chemistry, computational methods, molecular modeling, scientific programming, and research training at Florida Atlantic University.
A special-topics course introducing Linux, shell scripting and programming for scientific data analysis, including data mining and bioinformatics applications relevant to the life sciences.
A detailed treatment of reaction rates and thermodynamics, including rate laws, collision and transition-state theory, reaction dynamics, thermochemistry, and chemical equilibria.
Core physical chemistry spanning thermodynamics, equilibria, electrochemistry and kinetics, followed by quantum chemistry, spectroscopy, molecular orbitals, structure and bonding.
A special-topics offering focused on computational approaches used to investigate molecular structure, energetics, and biophysical chemistry.
Course summaries are adapted for the lab website from Florida Atlantic University course descriptions and course materials; special-topics offerings are identified as such.
Doctoral research supervision and dissertation mentoring.
Graduate research training in theoretical, computational and molecular biophysical chemistry.
Individual research projects, including RNA folding and computational chemistry.
Mentored projects in RNA modeling, Monte Carlo methods, microRNA, and thesis research.
