Curriculum

Materials Simulation

Computer simulation is a mandatory tool for understanding the structure and functionality of materials. This lecture covers theory and methods on first-principles calculations, which are based on quantum mechanics, and their applications to the understanding of structure and fundamental properties of molecules and solids. The aim of this lecture is to provide specialized knowledge on material design at the atomistic and electronic levels, which is required in current research and development of materials.
