Announcements of conferences, workshops, schools…
Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.

The 8th BerkeleyGW Tutorial Workshop and the 3rd Berkeley Excited States Conference (BESC2022)
- The 8th BerkeleyGW Tutorial Workshop
We would like to announce the 8th Annual BerkeleyGW Tutorial Workshop, with hands-on user sessions on the GW and GW plus Bethe-Salpeter equation (GW-BSE) approaches using the BerkeleyGW package. The Tutorial Workshop will be held January 10-12, 2022, Pacific standard time (PST), in a virtual online format this year. The target participants for the Workshop are graduate students, postdocs, and researchers who are interested in learning about or sharpening their skills on ab initio calculations of many-electron effects in excited-state properties of condensed matter.
The BerkeleyGW Package (http://www.berkeleygw.org) is a set of computer codes that calculates the quasiparticle properties and the optical responses of a large variety of materials from bulk crystals to molecules and nanostructures such as slabs, sheets, tubes, wires, and dots, and is applicable to insulating, metallic, and semi-metallic systems. The package takes as input the mean-field results such as the Kohn-Sham DFT eigenvalues and eigenvectors computed with commonly available electronic structure codes including ABINIT, Octopus, PARATEC, PARSEC, Quantum ESPRESSO, RMGDFT, SIESTA, TBPW, etc.
The Workshop will cover basic GW and BSE theory, standard and new features of the BerkeleyGW package, and detailed examples of using the BerkeleyGW package in conjunction with some of the above mentioned DFT packages.
- The 3rd Berkeley Excited States Conference (BESC2022)
In tandem to the annual BerkeleyGW Workshop, on January 13-14, 2022 PST, we will host a two-day annual conference (online virtual): the Berkeley Excited States Conference 2022 (BESC2022). BESC2022 will be a general topical conference with mainly invited talks by experts on recent progress in the theory and applications of ab initio study of quantum many-body effects as well as experiments in excited-state phenomena in materials, showcasing forefront research that involves advanced many-body approaches (e.g., GW, GW-BSE & beyond, DMFT, quantum Monte Carlo, TDDFT, TDGW, etc.), novel experiments, and new science in the excited state.
Both events are sponsored by DOE’s Center for Computational Study of Excited-State Phenomena in Energy Materials (C2SEPEM). Please find more information along with registration (no fees, but space is limited for hands-on tutorial sessions) at: https://workshop.berkeleygw.org/
