Symposium

Recent Advances in Computational Materials Science: Bridging Computations and Experiments

Scope

Computational materials science has been playing an indispensable role in recent years in deeply understanding physics and chemistry of materials and even in designing new materials having desired properties in collaboration with experiments. The advance of computational materials science is partly due to continuous developments of computational methods and massively parallel computers. The symposium will highlight recent advances of computational methods and its advanced applications which can tightly bridge large-scale computations and experiments. The topics of the symposium will cover fundamental methodological developments of first-principles electronic structure methods, high-throughput calculations for materials search, and its application to a wide variety of materials having not only fundamental significance and but also industrial importance. The symposium will provide an opportunity for a wide variety of material scientists to share state-of-the-art tidemark of computational materials science.

Topics
  • computational materials science
  • first-principles electronic structure calculations
  • high-throughput calculations
  • massively parallel computations
  • density functional theories
  • spectroscopy
  • computer aided material design
