The program gives students the opportunity to:
- Spend ten to twelve weeks as a guest of an LLNL host scientist working on a computational project in the host’s area of expertise.
- Work directly with leading LLNL researchers on the development and application of cutting-edge methods in computational materials science and chemistry as well as other related areas of computational science.
- Attend a series of 2-day mini-courses taught by leading researchers from universities and national laboratories covering state-of-the-art and emerging computational methods in materials science and chemistry.
- Tour LLNL and participate in networking activities.
Program topics include ab initio electronic structure theory, quantum chemistry, molecular dynamics, phase field modeling, computational mechanics, and multiscale modeling.
