Description
This session offers a broad introduction to the foundational principles of materials science, focusing on how the interplay between structure, chemistry, and processing determines material properties. It emphasizes the powerful collaboration between experimental methods and computational modeling, with case studies in semiconductors, energy materials, and quantum systems illustrating these concepts. A special focus will be placed on the role of high-performance computing (HPC) in accelerating discovery, enabling the simulation of complex systems.
