From November 20 to December 11, 2023, the Fourth course of the BOOSTalent project “Density functional theory for computational materials design” from the Kyiv Academic University will be held

Kyiv Academic University (KAU) continues a series of educational courses on high-tech technologies and the use of AI and ML in materials science and invites you to the fourth course of the BOOSTalent project “Density functional theory for computational materials design”.

This is the first course in a series of quantum mechanical calculations of materials. It will discuss density functional theory, which is successfully used to calculate the properties of materials in materials science, biochemistry, to create new drugs, solar cells, batteries, and much more. This course is purely theoretical, but it is important for further practical courses in quantum mechanical calculations.

  • Course dates: from November 20 to December 11, 2023;
  • Teacher: Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Oleg Feya (Laboratory of Data Research and Machine Learning KAU, Department of Electronic Structure and Electronic Properties of the G.V. Kurdyumov Institute of Metal Physics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine);
  • Language of instruction: English;
  • Teaching format: five online lectures on the platform www.eduportal.kau.edu.ua;
  • Difficulty: This is a basic course that aims to provide an understanding of the theory of quantum mechanical calculations. Prior knowledge of quantum physics at undergraduate and university level is preferred.
  • Registration:  Please fill out the form to register for the course. After filling out, you will receive instructions for registering on the portal www.eduporta.kau.edu.ua, and will be enrolled in the course of your choice.

You can meet the lecturer and find out what to expect from the course in this video.

The course is free. After passing it, all participants who complete the program and pass the test will receive certificates with the amount of ECTS credits.

The preparation and teaching of courses was carried out by DNU “Kiev Academic University” within the framework of the BOOSTalent project, funded by the European Institute of Technology and Innovation.
