Title: The great acceleration in the design and discovery of novel materials
Abstract: Materials are at the core of our technological advances, and are needed to address many of our societal challenges: from energy to information, from food to medicine. I’ll highlight the great strides made in the last few years in the design and discovery of novel materials, where computational simulations can now precede, streamline, or accelerate experiments. This acceleration is driven by the central paradigm of computational science (doubling performance every 14-16 months), combined with powerful and predictive quantum simulation techniques, and by the convergence of data mining and machine learning towards materials simulations. I’ll also underscore the IT requirements needed to perform calculations in a reproducible, shareable, high-throughput mode, highlighting applications to novel two-dimensional materials.
Curriculum Vitae: Nicola Marzari holds the Chair of Theory and Simulation of Materials at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, where he is also the director of the MARVEL National Centre for Computational Design and Discovery of Novel Materials. He is the current chairperson of the Psi-k Charity and Board of Trustees, and an Excellence Chair at the University of Bremen. The previous tenured appointment includes the Toyota Chair for Materials Processing at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and the first Statutory (University) Chair of Materials Modelling at the University of Oxford, where he was the director of the Materials Modelling Laboratory. He has a degree in Physics from the University of Trieste and a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Cambridge.
