Goal(s)

Provide the concepts of simulations at the atomistic and mesoscopic level in relation to the physical properties of materials. Standard numerical techniques for Engineers are a prerequisit. The set up of simulation projects supervised by researchers in the laboratories is preferred to favors the practice of the methods given during the lectures and offer the studients an oportunity to be in contact with research.
