From July 24 to 28, 2023, the New Approaches and Machine learning Methods for Ab initio calculations: NAMMA Psi-k Workshop 2023 will be held in the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR) in Bengaluru. The organizers of this workshop are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop will have pedagogical lectures, hands-on computational sessions, and research lectures from leading researchers from India and around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Computational materials science aims to design novel materials for specific applications, using a process of \u2018rational materials design\u2019. The principal theoretical tool for this is quantum-mechanical density functional theory. Since (in principle) the only input to these calculations is atomic numbers and atomic masses, these calculations are also known as ab initio or first-principles calculations. In recent years, the field has been transformed by the introduction of high-throughput and big-data approaches and the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence. Our workshop will start from the basics and go on to include some sophisticated recent work in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This workshop is being organized jointly by the Indian Institute of Science, the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, TCG CREST, Kolkata and the Psi-k Network (https:\/\/psi-k.net\/<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" From July 24 to 28, 2023, the New Approaches and Machine learning Methods for Ab initio calculations: NAMMA Psi-k Workshop 2023 will be held in the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR) in Bengaluru.
