About the course

Computational prediction of material properties from atomic to microstructural scales is a key, cross-cutting strength of the MSE department at Rensselaer. It provides a framework for understanding the detailed role of individual parameters such as composition, surface structure and chemistry, microstructure, nature of defects and their distribution in material synthesis, processing and properties. Expertise in our department spans electronic structure calculations at the atomic-nano scales, molecular dynamics simulations at the nano-meso scales, phase field simulations at the meso-micro scales, and continuum simulations up to the macroscopic scale. These techniques facilitate in silico prediction of a vast array of properties including chemical, mechanical, phase equilibria and transport of charge, mass and heat, in materials of all classes.
