Instructor:     GROSSMAN, J

Location:     TuTh 930-11A, 325 LECONTE
 

Prerequisites: Graduate standing or consent of instructor.

 

Course Description: A multidisciplinary overview of computational nanoscience for both theorists and experimentalists. This course teaches the main ideas behind different simulation methods; how to decompose a problem into "simulatable" constituents; how to simulate the same thing two different ways; knowing what you are doing and why thinking is still important; the importance of talking to experimentalists; what to do with your data and how to judge its validity; why multiscale modeling is both important and nonsense.
