Molecular modelling of matter course

March 23rd, 2011

.

BCAM is organizing a course on Molecular Modelling of Matter.

Molecular modeling of matter:

what can we do now, and in the near future?

28 March – 1 April 2011 from 11:00 to 13:00
Bizkaia Technology Park, Building 500
E-48160 Derio (Spain)
Telephone +34 946 567 842

This course will provide an introduction to modeling at the electronic, atomistic and meso-scales of matter. Computational quantum mechanical methods, with some emphasis on density functional theory, will be discussed in the beginning of the course, followed by a more detailed treatment of molecular simulation methods (molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo) based on numerical solution of the equations of semi-classical statistical
mechanics.

Prof. Keith Gubbins and Prof. Jesús M. Ugalde
