Dear colleagues,

The 17th International Nanotech Symposium & Exhibition (NANO KOREA 2019) will be held at KINTEX, Ilsan, South Korea from July 2 to July 5, 2019. NANO KOREA has been held every year since 2003 co-hosted by the Ministry of Science & ICT and the Ministry of Trade, Industry & Energy. In particular, NANO KOREA, Korea’s largest symposium on the nanoscale science and technology, will be a a great platform to present your major research results and stay up-to-date with the current research trends in Korea and overseas. 

In particular, we are organizing a session (TS12) on computational nano science and engineering. This session aims at introducing innovative research paradigm for new discovery and optimal design of functional nanomaterials. It encompasses largely two areas: development of new theory or computational methods and applications to wide range of devices to substantially improve operational efficiency. Machine learning and neural network theory and multiscale computational models will be discussed over a wide range of applications such as renewable energy devices, catalysts, electronic devices, and so on.

Topics of interest:
- Density-functional theory (DFT) & beyond DFT methods, molecular dynamic simulation, thermodynamic and kinetic Monte Carlo simulations, phase field models.
- Computational optimization and smart design of nanomaterials.
- Materials genome approach for chemical and materials informatics.
- Computational framework or prototype for nanomaterial development
- Novel phenomena at interfaces and heterostructures: Theory and modeling
- Atomic-scale understanding of stoichiometric and polymorphic control in advanced functional materials
- Advances in theory and modeling of optoelectronic properties in low-dimensional nanomaterials
