Atomistic Simulations of Multi-Phase Systems

This seminar is for industry specialists with its main focus on fluids, soft matter, porous materials and interfaces. We will share state-of-the-art studies in computational predictions of materials properties and process parameters for industrial applications such as oil & gas / refining, chemicals and biofuels.

May 22, 2015 - Maison de la Chimie

28 rue Saint-Dominique, 75007 Paris

Audience

Chemical engineers and applied researchers looking to accelerate R&D efforts by using molecular modeling to complement experimental studies and foster a deeper understanding of materials and fluid characteristics.

No background in molecular modeling theory or high performance computing is required, but basic notions of physical chemistry and the use of personal computers is useful.
