Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
After the course the student
- Computational materials screening. Several new materials screening projects will utilize computational tools to screen promising new materials. Such methods has been used quite long in drug discovery but they are relatively new in materials discovery.
- will be familiar quantum chemical modelling beyond the density functional theory (DFT). These include the hybrid DFT and Coupled Cluster methods.
- will be familiar of modelling of surfaces, surface reactions, interfaces
- will be familiar with ab initio molecular dynamics and time dependent DFT.
- will know the basics of machine learning.
