Short Courses

Gary Larson, The Far Side.

The authors of Modeling Materials, Ellad Tadmor and Ronald Miller, offer intensive short courses based on the material covered in their book. Each short course is tailored to its participants and provides them with the necessary skills to become proficient in continuum, atomistic and multiscale simulation techniques. The courses also familiarize participants with the latest efforts in standardization of atomistic simulations by the Knowledgebase of Interatomic Models (KIM) (http://OpenKIM.org). Each course includes a mixture of theoretical lectures and practical hands-on exercises. The cost per student depends on the location, number of participants and duration of the course.  See other frequently asked questions below.
