| Description |
With a generous support from the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development, the Faculty of Sciences of Tunis and ICTP Physics Without Frontiers are organizing a school on computational materials science with emphasis on density functional theory and its applications in renewable energy and spintronics. The school will comprise a combination of lectures, hands-on sessions using the Quantum Espresso software, and seminars. It aims to review basic notions of solid-state theory, teach about density functional theory, and provide insights into its applications in renewable energy and spintronics. The school programme includes lectures and seminars every morning during two weeks, and afternoons will be dedicated to the practical sessions. During the hands-on sessions the participants will work on small-group projects which will be presented at the end of the school. Eligiblility: The school is open primarily to master's students in physics and chemistry registered at Tunisian universities. The school will be conducted in English, so sufficient knowledge of English to follow the lectures is required. Financial support: Accommodation and financial support for domestic transportation expenses (within Tunisia) to Tunis might be available for master's students who want to attend the school and are registered at universities outside Tunis. For details, please see the registration form here. Lecturers: Natasa Stojic, ICTP Nicola Seriani, ICTP Anita Yadav, ICTP Maha Hsouna, ICTP/SISSA Valerio Vitale, University of Trieste Shobhana Narasimhan, JNCASR, India Organizers: Maha Hsouna (ICTP/SISSA) Jouda Khabthani (Faculty of Sciences of Tunis-FST) Walid Ouerghi (FST) Houda Ben Abdallah (FST) Khouloud Chika (FST) Anita Yadav (ICTP) Natasa Stojic (ICTP) Sonia Haddad (FST) |
