4th IIMEC Summer School on Computational Materials Science Across Scales

On behalf of the International Institute for Multifunctional Materials for Energy Conversion (IIMEC) and the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Texas A&M, we would like to announce the 4th Summer School on Computational Materials Science Across Scales. The 2015 IIMEC Summer School will be held from July 20–31, 2015 on the Texas A&M University campus in College Station, Texas. 

Topics will include thermodynamics and kinetics of microstructures, micromechanics of plasticity, fracture and phase transformations, mesoscale modeling methods (phase field, dislocation dynamics), atomistic simulations (molecular dynamics, electronic structure calculations), and elements of integrated computer-aided materials design. 

The intended audience of this 4th IIMEC  Summer School comprises graduate students, post docs, and junior scientists who would like to learn more about state of the art techniques in computational materials science. Lectures will be followed by comprehensive, hands-on practical sessions where the students will have the opportunity to use some of the most common computer simulation codes. 

For further information and a full list of the speakers, you may visit: http://iimec.tamu.edu/summer2015 

Should you be interested in attending the summer school, we are looking forward to receiving your electronic application (see attached application form) by June,15.
