Dear colleagues, The Cornell Nanoscale Facility will be hosting the 2nd Annual CNF Fall Modeling Workshop, “Building Nanostructures Bit by Bit” from October 23-25th, 2006.
http://www.cnf.cornell.edu/cnf_fallworkshop2006.html This three day workshop provides participants with morning lectures on the theory behind different computational approaches followed by afternoon hands-on sessions where they can work directly with the codes. This year, Professor Steven Johnson from MIT will be serving as one of the invited speakers. He will be providing a morning lecture of frequency domain and finite different time domain approaches for photonics. In addition, he will be leading an afternoon tutorial session on the MIT Photonic Bands and MEEP FDTD packages. Other speakers will be discussing microfluidics, molecular dynamics,density functional approaches, and more (see the full speaker list below). The official deadline for registration is October 11th, however, there are still some open spots and we are working to insure that as many people as possible are able to attend. Please see the link above for more information and registration. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Best regards, Derek Stewart CNF Fall Workshop organizer Final List of Speakers and Topics --------------------------- * Steven Johnson (MIT) Light on the nanoscale – modeling photonics structures with MIT Photonic Bands and the MEEP FDTD code * Garry Bordonaro (Cornell University) Using Prolith to optimize Nanofabrication * David Erickson (Cornell University) Modeling microfluidics using the Elmer multiphysics package * Axel Kohlmeyer (University of Pennsylvania) – Car-Parrinello Molecular Dynamics (CPMD) and graphical packages for visualizing nanostructures and their properties * Nicola Marzari (MIT): plane wave density functional approaches for nanostructures (Quantum Espresso package and CPMD) * Steve Plimpton (Sandia National Laboratories) – Molecular Dynamics for the Nanoscale World (LAMMPS code) * Murilo Tiago (University of Texas) – real space density functional approaches for clusters, nanowires, and more (PARSEC package) This workshop is made possible through the support of the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (http://www.nnin.org) and funding from the National Science Foundation ################################ Derek Stewart, Ph.
