Bridging Time and Length Scales in Molecular and Materials Modelling
Lennard-Jones Centre Summer School 2024
A summer school hosted by the LJC at the University of Cambridge.
The school will be held 2nd – 6th September 2024 in Christ’s College.
By the end of the school, participants will have acquired the basic skills needed to understand and perform simulations across a broad range computational methods that reflect the interdisciplinary nature of modern research.
In particular, the school will cover:
-
Density functional theory, with applications to the solid-state and interfaces
-
Wavefunction methods for molecular electronic structure theory
-
Molecular dynamics methods, with applications to solid-liquid interfaces
-
Energy landscapes and free energy methods
-
Machine Learned Interatomic Potentials; statistical sampling with ab initio accuracy
The content will be a combination of lectures and hands-on practical sessions, and pitched at a level appropriate for students either about to start a PhD, or in the early stages of their graduate studies.
The school will be delivered by members of the LJC, including:
- Kieron Burke
- Hugh Burton
- Gábor Csányi
- Kara Fong
- Chris Pickard
- David Wales
Places have now been filled but we hope to offer summer schools in the future so please keep an eye on this page if you are interested to attend.
