MRS/Kavli Future of Materials Virtual Workshop:
Computational Materials Science

Focus on Non-Equilibrium and Excited-State Dynamics in Materials

    

This three-day virtual workshop was held June 15-17, 2021. It brought together scientists working across the computational materials science field, those who predict highly-excited materials, ultra-fast dynamics and spectroscopy of materials, as well as those working on computing collective excitations in these systems. We discussed where the field of computational materials science is currently, where it is headed, what the possibilities are and what is needed.
