Atomistic Modelling and Materials Design

Innovation that leads to cutting edge technology requires development of new materials and methods. Discovery of futuristic solar cell applications, polymers, or quantum materials for quantum information applications, require close collaboration between researchers working with diverse skill sets like machine learning methods, chemistry, first principle methods, and quantum many body theory. The idea will be to use such interdisciplinary expertise and create a unique material database that can be utilized by experimental researchers from academia or industry towards identifying new material systems with promising physical properties. The CAMMD has been set up with such an aim and its uniqueness lies in bringing together one of the most diverse groups of researchers from engineering and pure sciences. This ambitious program will not only propose material systems with new engineering applications but also aims to discover materials that could enable fundamental scientific discovery.
