Full details below for those interested.  The registration deadline is  Oct. 21, 2011.  We will be providing travel support for participants.  Please note that due to the terms of the NSF grant, the participants must be researchers working in North or South America. Best regards, Organizing Committee Computational Materials Science for Energy Conversion and Generation Pan-American Advanced Studies Institute January 9-20, 2012 Santiago, Chile – Pontifica Universidad Catolica de Chile http://www.cnf.cornell.edu/<wbr></wbr>cnf_pasi2012.html Registration Deadline: Oct. 21, 2011 Travel funding available for participants Overview This workshop will provide young researchers (graduate students and post-docs) from across the Americas with lectures and hands-on tutorials on computational material science for energy applications.  Participants will also give presentations on their own research and work together in collaborative teams on challenge projects.  This two week workshop provides a unique opportunity to develop international connections and collaborations. Energy Topics include: Thermoelectrics (electronic and thermal transport), Battery Design Optimization , Structure Searches for New Materials, Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting, Nanophotonics for Solar Energy Applications, Catalysis Design Code Tutorials in: Density functional theory (Quantum Espresso, Siesta, OpenMX), Molecular dynamics (LAMMPS), Photonics (MEEP, MPB), Multiphysics (Elmer), and more Registration Info: The registration procedure is available on the PASI website.  All qualifying participants will receive travel and expenses support to attend the workshop.  Applicants must be doing research in a country in North or South America.  There are limited spots so please apply early. Registration Deadline: October 21, 2011 Questions?:  Please contact the workshop organizers Derek Stewart (derek.stewart(a)cornell.edu) or Richard Hennig (rhennig(a)cornell.edu) Funding: This workshop is made possible through generous support from the National Science Foundation, U.S. Department of Energy, the Office of Naval Research Global (ONRG), the International Center for Materials Research (ICMR), and the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN). ---------------------- This automatic notification message was sent by PSI-K (http://cselnx9.dl.ac.uk:8080/portal) from the PSI-K site.
