Non-equilibrium and Functional Materials in Materials and Chemistry
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is planning to hold its Computational Chemistry & Materials Science (CCMS) Summer Institute from June 3 to August 23, 2024.
The program gives students the opportunity to work directly with leading LLNL researchers on the development and application of cutting edge methods in computational materials science and chemistry and other related areas of computational science. The 2024 CCMS Summer Institute will highlight challenges and research opportunities in the development and application of methods to predict, analyze, and optimize the properties of materials for a broad range of applications.
Each student will spend ten to twelve weeks remotely as a guest of an LLNL host scientist working on a computational project in the host’s area of expertise. In addition, leading researchers from universities and national labs will give a series of 2-day mini-courses for the students. These courses will cover state-of-the-art and emerging computational methods in materials science and chemistry.
Program
The program includes research projects on computational materials science and chemistry, weekly lectures by leading experts from universities and national labs, tours of LLNL, and networking activities.
Topics
Program topics include ab initio electronic structure theory, quantum chemistry, molecular dynamics, phase field modeling, computational mechanics, and multiscale modeling.
Applications
The 2024 application period is closed.
