Lennard-Jones Centre Summer School 2024: Bridging time and length scales in molecular and materials modeling

By the end of the school, participants will have acquired the basic skills needed to understand and perform simulations across a broad range computational methods that reflect the interdisciplinary nature of modern research.  

In particular, the school will cover:

- Density functional theory, with applications to the solid-state and interfaces. 
- Wavefunction methods for molecular electronic structure theory
- Molecular dynamics methods, with applications to solid-liquid interfaces
- Energy landscapes and free energy methods
- Machine Learned Interatomic Potentials; statistical sampling with ab initio accuracy 

The content will be a combination of lectures and hands-on practical sessions, and pitched at a level appropriate for students either about to start a PhD, or in the early stages of their graduate studies.  

University of Cambridge Students and Staff, whose department will be covering the participation cost, need to register under the 4. UoC Student/Staff Registration: Internal Crosscharge category and liaise with their finance team to arrange an internal crosscharge via PO.

Academics and Students not from Cambridge and those not claiming expenses via
