Introduction To Materials Simulation

AY2022/2023 Semester 2

The aim of this course is to introduce to year-4 students some of the most important computational modelling techniques for materials simulation, such as continuum methods, atomistic and molecular simulation methods, quantum mechanics methods, and machine learning techniques that includes artificial neural networks. Students will gain insights into fundamental, theoretical, and numerical aspects of materials simulation through examples and exercises, appreciate the utility of computational modelling as an essential aid to uncover the underlying physics of experimental studies.
