Workshop on Modeling and Simulation for Experimental Research

Friday, May 27, 2016 9:00 am - 5:00 pm EDT (GMT -04:00)

The Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology presents a workshop on modeling and simulation for experimental research

Theoretical modeling and computer simulation are now powerful tools to aid in the interpretation of experimental results and provide new insights into scientific observations.

This one-day workshop will bring together theorists and experimentalist to:

  • share knowledge of the tools and techniques now available for modeling
  • foster synergy and collaboration between researchers, particularly in interdisciplinary areas
  • contribute to a better understanding of structure properties and behaviour of matter at the nanoscale

To make the event a success, we need a similar group of experimentalists to engage in a vibrant dialogue about their specific theoretical and computation needs.

Please register to confirm your attendance for this interesting day of learning and exchange.
