Giulia Galli: Materials discovery and scientific design by computation: what does it take?
MICDE Seminar Series
Substantial progress has been made in the last three decades in understanding and predicting the fundamental properties of materials and molecular systems from first principles, employing electronic structure methods and atomistic simulations. Using specific examples, I will discuss some predictions obtained for materials for energy conversion processes (photo-catalysis of water and solar cells) as well as some of the major challenges involved in enabling scientific discoveries by computation; in particular I will touch upon theoretical validation; and collection and verification of data generated by simulations. I will also discuss some of the theoretical and algorithmic advances required to broaden the scope of properties accessible by current ab initio simulations.
