This week (February, 21-24) we are taking part in the 35th edition of the Center for Simulational Physics Workshop, which has the usual theme “Recent Developments in Computer Simulational Studies in Condensed Matter Physics“. For the second time in over three decades the workshop is taking place online, instead of in Athens, Georgia.

This annual workshop series highlights advances in applications, algorithms, and parallel implementations of computer simulation methods for the study of condensed matter systems. It features topics such as Monte Carlo, molecular dynamics, and other numerical studies of material growth, structural and magnetic phase transitions, polymers, surfaces and interfaces, strongly correlated electron systems and exotic quantum phases, granular flow, diffusion, membranes and protein folding. 

My talk, entitled “Phonon thermal transport in periodic and quasiperiodic graphene-hBN superlattices“, deals with recent results from Isaac’s PhD thesis. It is a great pleasure to participate in this exciting event, even if online.
