Dear Colleagues,

We are happy to announce that on June 10-16, 2024 we will hold the “2024 School on Electron-Phonon Physics, Many-Body Perturbation Theory, and Computational Workflows” at the University of Texas, Austin.

This school is sponsored by the U.S. National Science Foundation, and it will be the fifth event of a series that started in 2018 with the First International School on Electron-Phonon Physics from First Principles (International Center for Theoretical Physics in Trieste), and continued with a virtual event in 2021, the Virtual School on Electron-Phonon Physics and the EPW Code, an in-person event in 2022, School on Electron-Phonon Physics from First Principles (The University of Texas at Austin), and the Virtual School on Many-Body Calculations using EPW and BerkeleyGW in 2023. The school focuses on introducing calculations for electron-phonon physics and excited-state phenomena using  EPW, Quantum ESPRESSO, Wannier90, and BerkeleyGW; it will include lectures and hands-on training sessions on the following topics:

* Density-functional perturbation theory
* Maximally-localized Wannier functions
* Boltzmann transport equation for carrier transport
* Migdal-Eliashberg theory of phonon-mediated superconductivity
* Phonon-assisted indirect optical absorption and luminescence
* Polaronic states and self-trapping
* Special displacement method for finite-temperature calculations
* Ab initio many-body methods for electron-phonon physics
* GW quasiparticle calculations and GW perturbation theory
* Bethe-Salpeter calculations and exciton-phonon interactions
* Automation and computational workflows for many-body calculations

Hands-on training sessions will be held on the supercomputers of TACC, the Texas Advanced Computing Center.

We are currently in the initial planning stage, and a more detailed announcement with registration instructions and deadlines will follow early next year. To have an idea on how many participants to plan for, it would be great if you could indicate your potential interest in participating at this link: https://utexas.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9Qz3NbzcBnUdXRs

Looking forward to welcoming you to Austin,
