2nd Annual CNF Fall Workshop: Building Nanostructures Bit by Bit
October 23-25th, 2006
Cornell University
http://www.cnf.cornell.edu/cnf_fallworkshop2006.html

Overview:
Modeling and simulation techniques play a crucial role in guiding nanoscale
research and interpreting the results.  However in order to successfully
integrate these computational approaches with experimental tools, researchers
must learn about the principles and applications associated with each code.
This three day workshop will provide morning lectures on the theory behind
different approaches followed by hands-on sessions for each code.  In some
cases, participants will learn directly from the code's creator.  Graduate
students and young researchers with theory or experimental backgrounds are
strongly encouraged to attend.  This workshop will focus on approaches crucial
for nanomaterials, nanophotonics, and nanochemistry.
