Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the upcoming workshop, Atomistic Simulations of Carbon-Based Materials. The event will take place from the 10th till the 12th of April in downtown Helsinki, Finland.

The workshop will feature invited and contributed presentations on atomistic simulations of carbon-based systems (including materials with chemical or structural similarities to carbon), including their crystalline, nanostructured, and/or amorphous phases. We will cover topics ranging from theory and methods development (quantum mechanics, interatomic potentials, and machine learning) to the realistic simulation of entire nanostructures, with a central theme: carbon and related materials.

The list of confirmed invited speakers is the following:

• Gábor Csányi, University of Cambridge (UK)
• Hannes Jónsson, University of Iceland
• Arkady Krasheninnikov, Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (Germany)
• Tomi Laurila, Aalto University (Finland)
• Nigel Marks, Curtin University (Australia)
• Risto Nieminen, Aalto University (Finland)
• Kai Nordlund, University of Helsinki (Finland)
• Lars Pastewka, University of Freiburg (Germany)
• Marika Schleberger, University of Duisburg-Essen (Germany)
• André Schleife, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (USA)
• Alexandre Tkatchenko, University of Luxembourg

Interested participants can send their application through the workshop's online form until the deadline (11/01/2019):
