New Horizons in Materials Modelling

This annual one-day meeting in 2019 brought together materials modelling researchers to discuss the latest developments in theory, algorithms, and applications.

This meeting consisted of invited and contributed talks, and a poster session. This, the 5th meeting in this series, will have three sessions, with invited speakers who will introduce the three main topic areas chosen for this meeting:

  • Magnetic/electrical properties: Dr Richard Evans (University of York)
  • Transport properties: Dr Paul Bristowe (University of Cambridge)
  • Structural properties: Prof Keith Refson (Royal Holloway, University of London)
