Multiscale Computational Mechanics

Course Description

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

This course will provide the foundations for applied multiscale computational mechanics through a hands-on approach. The focus will be primarily on particle-based methods that emphasize practical usages of open-source software in a Linux environment, such as Python, ORCA, Quantum Espresso, LAMMPS, and NAMD. Topics will include introductory levels of python programming, quantum mechanics, density functional theory, statistical mechanics, molecular dynamics, and multiscale coupling methods with broad applications in characterizing the structural, mechanical, and thermal properties for both organic and inorganic materials.

Prerequisites familiarity with a programming language is essential. Knowledge of Python scripting an advantage.
