Molecular Level Modeling for Engineering Applications

Catalog description

This graduate-level course is intended for engineering graduate students with interests in the simulation of materials and studying their properties at the molecular level using different atomistic simulation techniques. A special focus will be the molecular dynamics simulation method. Students will be taught to build atomic/molecular models, use the open-source LAMMPS software, and process the simulation data. An independent project is required to complete the course to provide hands-on experience on the atomistic simulation techniques.
