We would like to highlight a special focus session on "Advances in Ab-Initio Electronic Structure Theory of Time-Dependent and Non-Equilibrium Phenomena (SYES)", which will be held at the German Physical Society (DPG) spring meeting of the condensed matter section (SKM) in Berlin 17.-22.03.2024.

The DPG SKM spring meeting is the largest annual gathering of physicists in Europe. The focus session will feature contributed talks and posters and a symposium of invited talks. It is jointly hosted by the surface science (O), semiconductors (HL), dynamics and statistical physics (DY), and crystalline solids and their microstructure (KFM) divisions of SKM.

The symposium will highlight new advances in the theoretical description of time-dependent and nonequilibrium phenomena in materials. The invited talks will be given by leading and emerging experts in the field. We expect that the symposium will attract a broad and diverse audience, ranging from researchers working on method and software development as well as applications to advanced materials. 

Invited Speakers:

Sheng Meng, Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing
