Workshop: Frontiers in Thermal and Electronic Transport in Materials: A Tribute to Nicola Bonini
Dear colleagues,
We are organising a workshop "Frontiers in Thermal and Electronic Transport in Materials: A Tribute to Nicola Bonini" at King’s College London, UK on April 11th and 12th, 2024.
This workshop will highlight recent significant developments in the first-principles methods, algorithms and computer codes that address the challenges in modelling charge and heat transport processes in realistic materials and the underlying interactions. We will also discuss the applications of these methods to materials of current interest, including layered and two-dimensional materials, materials for photovoltaic and thermoelectric energy conversion, and superconducting materials. The workshop will also showcase recent progress on the experimental characterisation of those materials.
This workshop will be dedicated to the memory of Dr. Nicola Bonini, who passed away in October 2022. Nicola was a Reader in the Department of Physics at King’s College London where, since 2011, he taught physics and led research that made a significant impact on the field of first-principles modelling of electronic and thermal transport and its application to two-dimensional and thermoelectric materials. The invited talks will be given by the leaders in these fields, including Nicola's collaborators and colleagues, and will celebrate his research and achievements.
The registration details and the detailed programme will be announced shortly. The workshop will include invited talks, personal reflections and a poster session.

We gratefully acknowledge funding from the Psi-k and CCP9 networks, MARVEL and THEOS.
