The Materials and Molecular Modelling (MMM) Hub is holding a conference and user meeting between 29-31 October 2024, to bring together the national community of modellers in materials and theoretical chemistry to present the latest research in the field, and provide the opportunity to network and discuss with like-minded researchers. The meeting is taking place at the Battle of Britain Bunker, Wren Ave, Uxbridge UB10 0GG, close to Brunel University London.
The conference will highlight the high-calibre scientific throughput produced across the MMM Hub’s partner community and beyond, highlighting particularly the contribution of modern HPC resources (including MMM Hub’s ‘Young’), in enabling these advances. A selection of breakthrough materials and molecular modelling research taking place across the country will be presented, addressing challenges to society and industry through simulation at the atomic scale, alongside discussion in emerging computing trends and how this impacts materials scientists.
Topics will include, but not be limited to, molecular modelling, biological and technological soft matter, functional materials and devices, structural materials, surfaces and interfaces and methods and method development. The meeting will provide an excellent opportunity for researchers at all levels to learn about the forefront of this important field in numerical simulation, and to showcase their most recent results.
The meeting will see a number of invited and contributed talks, plus a selection of 2-minute flash talks from across the community. We also invite participants, particularly graduate student users of the Hub, to contribute A1-size, portrait orientation posters of their research. The posters will be on display to participants throughout the day, and at a drinks reception and Poster Presentation.
Confirmed invited speakers:
Navigating Materials Space with Machine Learning – Keith Butler, University College London
A force field for the periodic table – Gábor Csányi, University of Cambridge
The (other) big bang theory: towards a structure/property model to rationalise the impact sensitivities of energetic materials – Carole A. Morrison, University of Edinburgh
Juliana Morbec – Keele University
