An emphasis will be placed on, first, the formation processes of the elements and, second, the molecules of life, i.e. the amino acids, in various astrophysical conditions in space from a perspective of fundamental interactions of elementary particles and nuclei. In addition, time will be devoted to the link between theory and experimentation on these subjects. Modern experiments in particle and nuclear physics will be described and how these relate to astronomical observables on the production and formation of atomic nuclei, molecules, and amino acids. Method of Lecture: Lectures will involve mainly slide presentations, supplemented by board work, with handouts provided. Evaluation Method: Evaluations will be made based upon asking questions and providing feedback during the lectures, and through special questions & answers in the Q&A sessions and the session of the concluding lecture.
