The NOMAD (Novel Materials Discovery) Laboratory, a European Center of Excellence, https://nomad-coe.eu, recently released a 3-minute  video describing its goals in simple terms: https://youtu.be/yawM2ThVlGw .

We are also running a hands-on workshop on the so far developed tools and services: http://meetings.nomad-coe.eu/nomad-summer-2017/

 

Many more novel concepts and methods need to be developed. It is an exciting time where the field is starting a totally new research direction. Outstanding students and postdocs are encouraged to send their application material to Hanna Krauter. They are also welcome to contact the PI or Work Package leader (see TEAM) of the area they like to join. Applicants should have knowledge in one or more of these fields: computational informatics, statistical learning, compressed sensing, electronic-structure theory, statistical mechanics.

The future is already here - it is just unevenly distributed. (William Gibson)
