Computational Physics @ Computational Science @ STFC UKRI: what and how

General ILL Seminar
Organised by College 7

Embedded within STFC’s Scientific Computing Department, the Computational Science Division [1] sits at the interface between academic communities with interests in data intensive and/or HPC science and STFC’s large-scale facilities. Within the Division, the Computational Physics group [2] specialises mostly in the area of (first principle) computational materials science, developing and applying methods and software based on Density Functional Theory and beyond. In addition, we have activities in the area of atomic and molecular physics and plasma physics relevant to fusion energy. In this presentation, I will provide an overview of the software development and scientific projects currently active in the group, with special attention to the ongoing efforts in promoting links between neutron-based structure and dynamics characterisation with complementary synchrotron and laser spectroscopies starting from, but not limited to, disordered materials and interfaces.
