The venue will be held at Kasetsart University, more specifically the Kampangsaen Campus. This site is roughly 50-60 km from Bangkok in the city of Nakorn Pathom (ancient city around 100 A.D). We expect between 60-80 students, mostly from Thailand and other countries in SE Asia, but participants from any region are welcome to attend. The dates are set for October 11 14 (Monday - Thursday). The workshop will consist of a series of lectures and two half-day lab courses with hands-on training in DFTB calculations. Invited speakers are: - Dr. Balint Aradi (Bremen Center for Computational Materials Sciences, Germany), DFTB calculations for periodic systems - Prof. Qiang Cui (University of Wisconsin, Madison, U.S.A.), SCC/MM in biological systems with CHARMM - Prof. Marcus Elstner (University of Karlsruhe, Germany), DFTB method and performance - Prof. Thomas Heine (Jacobs University, Bremen, Germany), BOMD and/or CPMD with DFTB and computational environmental materials science - Prof. Stephan Irle (Nagoya University, Japan), Study of erosion processes using DFTB/MD - Dr. Jacek Jakowski (Oak Ridge National Laboratories, TN, U.S.A.), Liouville-von Neumann dynamics - Dr. Alister Page (Fukui Institute for Fundamental Chemistry, Kyoto University, Japan), Simulation of nanoscale self-assembly processes using DFTB/MD - Prof. Henryk Witek (National Chiao Tung University, Hsinchu, Taiwan), Modeling vibrational spectra with SCC-DFTB We will release details on the workshop on a special website shortly. Meanwhile, you can send inquiries to sirle!^!iar.nagoya-u.ac.jp We hope to see you in Thailand in October. Stephan Irle Vudhichai Parasuk Henryk Witek (Organizers)
