Who should attend?
This tutorial is targeted at scientists and engineers interested in discovering how modern computational approaches can be used to predict the structural properties of materials. The tutorial will benefit students, post-doctoral scholars and early career scientists, as well as senior scientists and engineers who do not specialize in computation.
Course Topics
- Introduction to atomic scale total energy methods: empirical interatomic potentials and first principles electronic structure based total energy methods.
- Applications of total energy methods to the computation of structures and energies of extended defects.
- Atomic scale dynamics: Molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo methods with applications to diffusion and synthesis.
Course Speakers
Daryl C. Chrzan, professor of materials science and engineering in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of California – Berkeley. He is also a faculty staff scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
M.D. Asta, professor of materials science and engineering in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of California – Berkeley and the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of California – Davis.
Jeffrey C. Grossman, professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts.
