Modeling in Advanced Materials

Catalog description

Overview of several contemporary research topics pertaining to nanomaterials for energy, environment and electronics. Lectures are focused on general modeling approaches to characterize the nanomaterials, which can have a significant impact on our quality of life. Relevant physical concepts, computational methods, and simulations on parallel computers are also introduced. Special attention are given to point out how methods learned during this course are applied in current frontier research in nano Materials for various applications. Along with the lectures, the course also includes in- class implementation workshops of some of the computational methods using relevant software packages.
