It is intended for a relatively broad audience in the interface/catalysis/energy materials field, including experimental groups who would like to do their own computational work. Unfortunately, there is only one week left before registration deadline. We really appreciate your help with sharing it around. Best regards, Qin We are pleased to announce a special training workshop that may interest the students or other young researchers in your group: Theory and Computation for Interface Science and Catalysis: Fundamentals, Research and Hands on Engagement using VASP Hosted at Brookhaven National Laboratory, November 3-7, 2014 This workshop was developed jointly between the CFN and the Center for Materials by Design at Stony Brook University. The workshop is specifically targeted for students and other researchers who seek to learn fundamentals and practical usage of modern DFT based approaches, especially for application to research in interface science, catalysis and other materials for energy applications. Morning lectures by expert CFN staff, users and invited guests will frame the subject, demonstrate examples of theory and experiment working together in research and introduce the theoretical methods. Afternoons will be devoted to hands-on tutorials, primarily focused on the VASP suite of tools and led by a member of the VASP team, Martijn Marsman from U. Vienna. Every effort has been made to make this workshop affordable for students. For further information and registration, see the attached flyer and click on: http://www.bnl.gov/theorycomp2014/. There is a narrow window for registration: The deadline is Friday, October 3, 2014.
