====================================================================== Winter School 2009

"Multiscale Simulation Methods in Molecular Sciences" 3 - 6 March 2009

Institute for Advanced Simulation (IAS) Juelich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) Forschungszentrum Juelich, Germany

Announcement

======================================================================

Scope of the School -------------------

The Winter School 2009 continues a series of Schools that was devoted over the years to several well-defined and mature areas like "Quantum Chemistry" (2000), "Quantum Many-Body Systems" (2002), "Soft Matter" (2004), or "Nanoscience" (2006). This School will cover three main strings of themes focusing on how to deal with hard matter, soft matter, and bio matter when it is necessary to cope with disparate length and time scales. Therein aspects like coarse graining of molecular systems and solids, quantum/classical hybrid methods, embedding and multiple time step techniques, creating reactive potentials, multiscale magnetism, adaptive resolution ideas or hydrodynamic interactions will be discussed in detail. In addition, another string of lectures will be devoted to the genuine mathematical and the generic algorithmic aspects of multiscale approaches and their parallel implementation on large, multiprocessor systems including techniques such as multigrid and wavelet transformations. Although this is beyond what can be achieved in a very systematic fashion given the breadth of the topic, introductions into fundamental techniques such as molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo simulation, and electronic structure (total energy) calculations in the flavor of both wavefunction-based and density-based methods will be provided.

The School about "Multiscale Simulation Methods in Molecular Sciences" is tailored for PhD students and early Postdocs with a solid background in basic quantum mechanics coming from physics, chemistry, material science and related disciplines.
