CCL: Announcement: DFTB Thai Summer School, Bangkok, Thailand, Oct. 11-14

 Sent to CCL by: "Stephan  Irle" [stephan.irle : gmail.com]
 We invite you to participate in the 7th Thai Summer School in Computational
 Chemistry with DFTB
 as the focus of the workshop. 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.
