Summer School on Computational Materials Science

Figure from Blair Tuttle et al.

We introduced the tools and concepts used in first principles simulations of atomic and molecular systems: the use of the fundamental laws of matter with high performance computing to enable predictions of experimental properties of materials. The basic simulation and electronic structure methods were covered in the first week. In the second week, recently developed methods for handling systems with longer time and of larger size were discussed.
