Computational methods in molecular and solid-state systems
Student workshop
Computational Materials Science Center (CMaSC) at George Mason University
announces a "Computational methods in molecular and solid-state systems"
workshop. This intensive oneday workshop is designed for
upperclass undergraduate and graduate students interested in computational chemistry in general and co
mputational aspects of material and biomolecular science in particular. The workshop will cover basic
theoretical approaches, techniques and computational tools for analysis of crystalline materials, mine
rals, nanomaterials and biomolecular systems. Machine learning and artificial intelligence methods, co
mputational geometry of molecular and supramolecular structure, and molecular visualization will be am
ong the workshop focus areas. The workshop will be conducted using state-of-the-art training facilitie
s at the George Mason University. It will consist of lectures and hands-on computer laboratory session
s. Students will acquire knowledge of fundamental principles as well as practical skills necessary to
use modern computational tools and machine learning techniques in material science, nanotechnology and
computational chemistry applications.
When: May 16, 2008, 10:00AM-3:00PM (lunch will be provided)
Where: Innovation Hall, George Mason University
Registration for the workshop is free. Applications, including name, address,
school, major and class level should be sent by e-mail to ivaisman@gmu.edu not later than May 6, 2008. Accepted participants will be notified by May 9, 2008. Women and students from the underrepresented minority groups are encouraged to apply.
The workshop is sponsored by a grant from the National Science Foundation. Upon successful completion of the workshop all participants will receive a certificate.
