Moreno 0730290 PIRE研究生教育和研究Petascale复杂相关系统的多体方法：与德国和瑞士的合作伙伴合作该项目的目标是开发一个新的国际研究和研究生教育计划，利用网络基础设施投资来研究相关材料中的复杂现象。 该项目代表了北达科他州大学（UND）、辛辛那提大学（UC）和美国橡树岭国家实验室的研究人员之间的伙伴关系;德国的不莱梅大学、马克斯·普朗克固体研究所、维尔茨堡大学和哥廷根大学;以及瑞士的苏黎世Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule。 最近开始的千万亿次计算加上复杂系统的新算法的发展，允许建模强相关的材料，如高温铜氧化物超导体，重费米子系统，和平衡的纳米器件。这些相关材料构成了未来高科技设备的基础，因此对它们的正确理论理解对于技术进步至关重要。 该奖项资助的研究重点包括使用由第一原理计算参数化的模型模拟强相关系统，其中包括化学细节。 这些模型将用大规模并行多体方法求解。 将采用自下而上的模块化方法进行代码开发。 由此产生的代码模块库将广泛适用，并为学生论文项目的代码快速建设必不可少的。 来自UND和UC的大约20名美国博士生将在欧洲与上述合作伙伴合作六到十二个月，为期五年。 除了这些延长的研究停留外，学生和教师还将通过视频会议和新兴互联网技术进行虚拟合作，并参加每年在其中一个合作机构举行的为期12天的夏季研讨会。 两名博士后研究人员和PI/coPI团队也将参加研讨会和其他合作活动。这种国际教育和研究伙伴关系将共同努力：1）为博士生提供可持续的、多学科的国际研究机会。该项目得到了美国国家科学基金会国际科学与工程办公室和材料研究部的支持。

Moreno 0730290PIRE Graduate Education and Research in Petascale Many Body Methods for Complex Correlated Systems: A Collaboration with Partners in Germany and SwitzerlandThe goal of this project is to develop a new international research and graduate education program leveraging cyberinfrastructure investment to study complex phenomena in correlated materials. The project represents a partnership between researchers at the University of North Dakota (UND), the University of Cincinnati (UC), and Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the U.S.; the University of Bremen, the Max Planck Institute of Solid State Research, the University of Wurzburg, and the University of Gottingen in Germany; and the Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule Zurich in Switzerland. The recent onset of petascale computing coupled with the development of new algorithms for complex systems allows the modeling of strongly correlated materials, such as high temperature cuprate superconductors, heavy fermion systems, and out of equilibrium nanoscale devices. These correlated materials form the basis of future high-tech devices and thus their proper theoretical understanding is paramount for technological progress. Highlights of the research to be funded by this award include simulations of strongly correlated systems using models parametrized by first principles calculations which include chemical details. These models will be solved with massively parallel many-body methods. A bottom-up modular approach for code development will be used. The resulting library of code modules will be broadly applicable and essential for the rapid construction of codes for student thesis projects. Approximately 20 U.S. doctoral students from UND and UC will spend six to twelve months in Europe collaborating with partners above, over a period of five years. In addition to these extended research stays, students and faculty will collaborate virtually via video conferencing and emerging internet technologies and will participate in a 12-day summer workshop to be held at one of the partner institutions each year. Two postdoctoral researchers and the PI/coPI team will participate in the workshop and other collaborative activities as well.This international education and research partnership will work collaboratively to: 1) develop sustainable, multidisciplinary, international research opportunities for Ph.D. students, 2) capitalize on complementary research strengths to facilitate the development of petascale computational models which will lead to innovative discoveries in complex correlated systems, and 3) provide graduate students with a rich international research experience to increase their ability to compete in the global marketplace.This project receives support from NSF's Office of International Science and Engineering and Division of Materials Research.
