Dear Colleagues,

Abstract submission is now open for Symposium 4A: Advances in Computational Materials Science of the XXIV International Materials Research Congress - Cancun 2015 (https://www.mrs-mexico.org.mx/imrc2015/index.php) to be held in Cancn, Mexico from August 16 to 20, 2015. 

Abstracts may be submitted for contributed talks (15 min) or poster presentations by April 15 2015. We welcome your contributions and look forward to an exciting symposium, bringing together an international community of researchers and showcasing the latest advances in computational materials science. Your participation in the symposium would contribute greatly to its success.  

The symposium program will focus on the topics:
*Recent advances in computational techniques
*Electronic transport and molecular electronics
*Oxides
*Lattice-dynamical properties, electron-phonon coupling, and superconductivity
*Graphene and beyond: 2D systems
*Crystal structures 

Confirmed invited speakers include: 
Stefano Curtarolo (Duke University), Alexandre Tkatchenko (FHI-Berlin), Marco Nardelli (University of North Texas), Marco Fornari (Carnegie Mellon University), Ichiro Takeuchi (University of Maryland), Zhongfang Chen (University of Puerto Rico), Gus Hart (Brigham Young University), Volker Blum (Duke University), Anastassia Alexandrova (University of California, Los Angeles), Artem Oganov (Stony Brook University), Alex Demkov (The University of Texas at Austin), Craig Fennie (Cornell University), Nicole Benedek (The University of Texas at Austin), Vincent Ortiz (Auburn University), Amir Natan (Tel-Aviv University), Patrick Rinke (Aalto University), Maytal Caspary-Toroker (Technion- Israel Institute of Technology)
