Ab initio calculations of electronic properties of materials with Quantum ESPRESSO package

We invite you to the BOOSTalent project course on "Ab initio calculations of electronic properties of materials with Quantum ESPRESSO package." This is a practical course where we will be computing the electronic properties of materials, including band structures, density of states, and constructing Fermi surfaces. Our calculations will utilize the Quantum ESPRESSO program, one of the most powerful tools for quantum-mechanical calculations based on density functional theory.

This program is successfully employed in materials science, biochemistry, drug discovery, solar cells, batteries, and many other fields. We invite students, graduate students, and researchers in the aforementioned fields to participate.

• when: from 22 of May till 11 of June, 2024;
• who: Lecturer Oleh Feia PhD in Condensed Matter Physics, Laboratory of Data Science and Machine Learning of Kyiv Academic University, Department of Electronic Structure and Electronic Properties of Kurdyumov Institute of Metallophysics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine
• language: English;
• where: online lectures and practical courses via educational platform www.eduportal.kau.edu.ua ;
• сomplexity: This is a basic course aimed at providing skills in quantum-mechanical calculations. Previous knowledge of quantum physics at the undergraduate level is welcomed. If you have completed our previous course on "Density functional theory for computational materials design", it will provide you with a better understanding of the material.

• registration: please, fill in the registration form. After that, you will get instructions on how to register for www.eduporta.kau.edu.ua and be enrolled on the course.

The course is free. All students will receive certificates with the amount of ECTS credits on completing the course. 

The Deep Tech courses are delivered to you by the Kyiv Academic University as a part of the BOOSTalent project and CloudEARTHi initiative.
