*_Overview_*

This workshop will provide young researchers (graduate students and 
post-docs) from across the Americas with lectures and hands-on tutorials 
on computational material science for energy applications.Participants 
will also give presentations on their own research and work together in 
collaborative teams on challenge projects.This two week workshop 
provides a unique opportunity to develop international connections and 
collaborations.

*_Energy Topics include:_*

Thermoelectrics (electronic and thermal transport), Battery Design 
Optimization , Structure Searches for New Materials, Piezoelectric 
Energy Harvesting, Nanophotonics for Solar Energy Applications, 
Catalysis Design

*_Code Tutorials in:_ *Density functional theory (Quantum Espresso, 
Siesta, OpenMX), Molecular dynamics (LAMMPS), Photonics (MEEP, MPB), 
Multiphysics (Elmer), and more

*_Registration Info:_ *The registration procedure is available on the 
PASI website.All qualifying participants will receive travel and 
expenses support to attend the workshop.*Applicants must be doing 
research in a country in North or South America.*** There are limited 
spots so please apply early.

Registration Deadline: October 21, 2011
