BACKGROUND
&
MOTIVATION

The basic foundations of our technology, and its foreseen development in the 21st century, basically lie on the physical sciences and, if one desires to distinguish, also material science. To meet the ever-increasing demand for novel materials, and at the same time satisfy the growing public concern for the energy/power consumption and environmental impacts, novel routines other than relying on the age-old tradition of trial-and-error/hit-and-miss would be necessary. Given these circumstances, we need to develop novel theoretical routines and techniques that could quickly and efficiently find novel materials for synthesis, that would suit our purposes. The theoretical routines and techniques necessary should incorporate quantum mechanics per se, and should not be dependent on experimental results and/or empirical parameters. Ab-Initio/First Principles Calculations satisfy all these requirements. With recent developments in computational techniques, coupled with the rapid progress in computer efficiency, ab-initio/first principles-based COMPUTATIONAL MATERIALS DESIGN (CMD®) is now a reality. Its impact/influence on industrial R&D should increase with the passing years. The purpose of these series of workshops is to provide the participants with a first-hand experience of how COMPUTATIONAL MATERIALS DESIGN (CMD®) is carried out, provide them with the basic knowledge and techniques, to better prepare them for the new paradigm in materials science research.

 


COURSE
OFFERINGS

Lectures, as well as hand-on sessions, will be conducted for the purpose of imparting on the participants various quantum simulations techniques, that could be applied in performing ab-initio based design of nano-materials and nano-devices.
For the 1st ASIAN CMD® workshop (CMD®ASIA 2008), we are offering the ff. intensive, hands-on courses:

  • Beginner Course (CMD®ASIA 2008)
  • Advanced and Expert Courses (will be offered in CMD®ASIA 2009 and CMD®ASIA 2010)

 


REQUIREMENTS

Participants are required to attend all the sessions held in their respective courses, including the night sessions.

 


MAX. # of
Participants


20 participants
(Add'l participants will be considered based on the essay content written in the application form.)

 


EXPENSES

There is no registration fee.
[However, each participant is expected to shoulder expenses they may incur during the workshop (travel, board and lodging, printed materials, etc.).]
