Dear colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to tracks on Multiscale Simulation and Material Design for Energy Harvesting and Storage at the IEEE Nano conference in Cork, Ireland on July 23-26, 2018.

IEEE Nano is the flagship IEEE Nanotechnology conference. It covers a wide range of topics in nanoscience and technology, from nanomaterials and nanofabrication, to nanosensors, nanoactuators, nanoelectronic/nanophotonic devices and nanoenergy. Further details on the conference scope and programme can be found at http://ieeenano18.org.

The topics covered by the Multiscale Simulation track will include:

-Enabling Multi-Scale Simulation, through theory and method development
-Simulation of atomic layer deposition
-Simulation of catalytic processes
-Simulation of energy materials
-Device simulation

Confirmed invited speakers:

Stefan Bromley, University of Barcelona, Spain
Fabio Sacconi, TiberLab, Italy
Stephan Menzel, Juelich, Germany
Geoffroy Hautier, UC Louvain, Belgium
Graeme Watson, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland
Michail Stamatakis, UCL, UK
Francesc Vines, University of Barcelona, Spain
Luca Larcher, MDL Soft, Italy

The topics covered by the Material Design for Energy Harvesting and Storage track will include:

-Materials for energy harvesting (thermoelectrics, photovoltaics, piezoelectrics)
-Materials for energy storage (batteries and supercapacitors, hydrogen storage, carbon capture)
-Predictive modelling techniques

Confirmed invited speakers:

Giulia Galli, University of Chicago, USA
Berend Smit, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Switzerland
Clas Persson, University of Oslo, Norway
Nenad Vukmirovic, Institute of Physics Belgrade, Serbia

Abstract submission is open and will close on February 28th. Abstract submission guidelines are given at:
