Material design using HPC resources

Summary

The aim of the subject is to gain knowledge to manipulate and process enormous data generated by any code of material design at HPC supercomputers of IT4Innovations (GBi, TBi) and to handle quantum-mechanical calculations as well as molecular dynamics suitable for finite pressures and temperatures, i.e. a multiscale approach, from nano to macro world. Such knowledge enables to design materials with required properties.
