Description: Materials for infrastructure can be greatly improved by taking advantage of unique effects that occur at the nanoscale. This course is a graduate course to teach common methods such as first principles, kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC), classical MC (in Canonical, Grand Canonical, and isobaric-isobaric-isothermal ensembles), and classical MD in predicting materials formation and properties. Case studies include cementitious materials, metals, and thermoelectric materials. Other case studies are also possible depending on student's background and the instructor's approval.
