Laboratory for Materials Simulations (LMS)

The Laboratory for Materials Simulations was created in July 2021 within the new Division for Scientific Computing, Theory and Data (SCD). The Laboratory currently hosts two groups, a newly created Materials Software and Data group, led by Dr. Giovanni Pizzi, and the Multiscale Materials Modelling group, led by Dr. Matthias Krack. A third group will follow this year.

Electronic-structure methods for materials design

Electronic-structure methods for materials design

The accuracy and efficiency of electronic-structure methods to understand, predict and design the properties of materials has driven a new paradigm in research. Simulations can greatly accelerate the identification, characterization and optimization of materials, with this acceleration driven by continuous progress in theory, algorithms and hardware, and by adaptation of concepts and tools from computer science.
