This symposium addresses innovative first-principles and high-throughput approaches for the discovery and development of novel material systems with targeted functional properties. A topical session within this symposium will be dedicated to “Multiscale electronic and thermal transport modeling of materials and devices with industrial applications”, including topics from five European cooperation projects Extmos, MMM@HPC, Mostophos, Deepen, and Alma, which are funded by the European Commission, and related contributions.

Confirmed invited speakers are:

Stefano Curtarolo (Duke University, USA)

Ralf Drautz (Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany)
