MCM3: Multiscale Computational Methods in Materials Modelling Meeting

 18 - 20 Jun 2014

ICMS, 15 South College Street Edinburgh

  • R. Harrison, Stony Brook
  • B. Leimkuhler, University of Edinburgh
  • P. Plechac, University of Delaware
  • S. Plimpton, Sandia National Laboratory

About:

Furthermore, organisational support was provided by the School of Mathematics, the Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre and the International Centre for the Mathematical Sciences.

While the scope of the workshop was very broad spanning quantum, classical and mesoscale techniques the emphasis was on mathematical approaches, stochastic numerical algorithms and parallel computing issues. The goal was to seek points in common among scale-bridging techniques in different modelling regimes. The experience of the participants was also broad, with chemists, engineers, physicists and mathematicians all presenting talks on theoretical and applied topics.
