Arrival Ltd / Happy Electron Ltd
It's that time of the year when we get to welcome lots of shiny new members to the Thomas Young Centre.
This year we are holding our welcome event online (of course) and as always, we have got a great line-up!
Giannis Mpourmpakis, Bicentennial Alumni Faculty Fellow, Associate Professor
Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering
University of Pittsburgh
London (UK time), September 21-25, 2020
Speakers:
Lorenzo Botto - Structural Materials Interest Group
Delft University of Technology
Graphene nanohydrodynamics: theory and simulations to understand the flow behaviour of sheared dispersions of 2D material nanoplates
Edina Rosta - Soft & Biological Matter Interest Group
Structural insights in targeting COVID-19 RNA helicase, NSP13
Matthew Foulkes - Methods & Formalisms group
Solving the Many-Electron Schrodinger Equation with Neural Networks
Kim Jelfs - Structural Materials / Functional Materials & Devices groups
Screening chiral organic semiconductors: exploring side groups and assembly to optimise charge transport
POSTPONED TO 2021, new dates to be announced
Nucleation from liquids is a phenomenon encountered in countless natural and industrial processes. Nucleation is the initial step in the formation of a new, usually thermodynamically stable phase, from a parent, metastable phase.
Speakers:
Dorothy Duffy - Functional Materials & Devices group
Modelling phase transformations induced by electronic excitations
Anthony Phillips - Functional Materials & Devices group
Pressure-induced softening and other unexpected thermodynamic properties
POSTPONED to 2021, new dates to be announced
This workshop aims to showcase the latest advances in computational materials design and promote discussion and debate on bridging theory and experiment.
Ella Gale, University of Bristol
