This week I am at CNPEM in Campinas for two back-to-back meetings, along with experts from diverse fields in materials science, computational physics, and informatics, to discuss the latest research, innovative methodologies, and applications in electronic structure theory and computational materials science.
The first one is the CNPEM/ILUM – Max Planck Meeting on Electronic Structure Methods and Materials Informatics, which is an international collaborative event that brings together researchers from Brazil’s National Institute of Science and Technology (INCT) for Materials Informatics and the Max Planck Institute. The meeting will focus on advancing electronic structure methods and fostering breakthroughs in materials informatics, and I will deliver an invited talk entitled “Computing the thermal conductivity of a-Ge2Sb2Te5 with neural network potentials: Molecular dynamics versus Wigner transport equation”, in which I will present some of the lates results from my collaboration at Sapienza.
The second event is the Annual Meeting of the INCT for Materials Informatics, of which I have been a member since its inception a couple of years ago. In the anual meetings several participants present their latest developments and we plan our future work. I am sure this will be a very productive and enjoyable week.
