Modeling in Advanced Materials

Catalog description

Overview of several contemporary research topics pertaining to nanomaterials for diverse applications such as energy, environment, electronics and additive manufacturing. 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 is given to point out how methods learned during this course are applied in current frontier research in nanomaterials 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. Shares lecture with CHME 4081, with additional expectations for graduate credit.
