BerkeleyGW Tutorial Workshop
We would like to announce the 6th Annual BerkeleyGW Tutorial Workshop, with hands-on user sessions on the GW and GW Bethe-Salpeter equation (GW-BSE) approaches using the BerkeleyGW package as well as sessions of presentations of contributed scientific talks afterward. The Tutorial Workshop will be held June 3-5, 2019, in Oakland, California, USA. The target participants for the Workshop are graduate students, postdocs, and researchers who are interested in learning about or sharpening their skills on ab initio calculations of many-electron effects in excited-state properties of condensed matter. Participants are also invited to stay for the contributed scientific talks part of the Workshop that will take place on June 6-7.
The BerkeleyGW Package (http://www.berkeleygw.org) is a set of computer codes that calculates the quasiparticle properties and the optical responses of a large variety of materials from bulk crystals to molecules and nanostructures such as slabs, sheets, tubes, wires, and dots. The package takes as input the mean-field results such as the Kohn-Sham DFT eigenvalues and eigenvectors computed with commonly available electronic structure codes including PARATEC, PARSEC, Quantum ESPRESSO, SIESTA, Octopus, TBPW (aka EPM), etc.
The Workshop will cover basic GW and BSE theory, features of the BerkeleyGW package (version 2.0), and detailed examples of using the BerkeleyGW package in conjunction with the above mentioned DFT packages.
After the workshop, on June 6-7, we will also host a two-days event showcasing contributed presentations on research done with BerkeleyGW, with the potential for travel support.
