Announcement for the Materials Computation Center 2006 Summer School
2006 SUMMER SCHOOL ON COMPUTATIONAL MATERIALS SCIENCE
"Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics Simulation Methods in Chemistry"
July 31 - August 11, 2006
The Material Computation Center
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
OVERVIEW
========
Our Summer School 2006 will focus on Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics (AIMD)
simulations and provide the background to understand and use AIMD
techniques. An overview advanced electronic-structure and molecular dynamics
methods and their interplay will be given. Both theory and practical
applications of density functional theory and wavefunction based methods
will be included, as will classical and quantum molecular dynamics.
The summer school will include focused sessions on use of
high-performance computing techniques, and a hands-on introduction to the
Quantum-ESPRESSO code for electronic-structure calculations, structural
optimization, and AIMD. Participants should have some familiarity with
either electronic-structure theory or molecular dynamics techniques.
