Conference: Third US School and Workshop on Theory and Applications of TDDFT

该奖项由材料研究部的凝聚态物质和材料理论计划以及化学部的化学理论、模型和计算方法计划提供资金。该奖项支持学生参加将于2023年6月29日至2023年7月8日在纽瓦克罗格斯大学举行的第三届美国含时密度泛函理论与应用(TDDFT)学校和研讨会。TDDFT是描述相互作用多体系统动力学的一种有效且形式上精确的方法，已成为计算复杂分子和广泛材料的激发能和光学性质的首选方法。学校将在第一周举行，将有35名学生和8名教师参加。学生将通过理论讲座学习TDDFT的基础知识，并通过学习使用最先进的TDDFT代码获得实践经验。将在第二周举行的讲习班将邀请该领域的一些领导人以及初级科学家就TDDFT的前沿发展和应用作专题介绍。会议将允许学生从该领域的专家那里了解TDDFT的基础和应用，促进初级和高级研究人员之间的思想交流，并作为创造新合作的机会。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award is funded by contributions from Condensed Matter and Materials Theory program of the Division of Materials Research and the Chemical Theory, Models, and Computational Methods program of the Division of Chemistry. This award supports participation of students in the Third US School and Workshop on Theory and Applications of Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT), which will take place at Rutgers University-Newark from June 29, 2023 to July 8, 2023. TDDFT is an efficient and formally exact way of describing the dynamics of interacting many-body systems, and has become the method of choice for calculating excitation energies and optical properties of complex molecules and a broad range of materials. The school, which will be held during the first week, will involve the participation of 35 students and 8 instructors. Students will learn the fundamentals of TDDFT via theory lectures and gain hands-on experience by learning to use state-of-the-art TDDFT codes. The workshop to be held during the second week will involve invited presentations on cutting edge developments and applications of TDDFT from some of the leaders in the field as well as junior scientists. The conference will allow students to learn about the foundations and applications of TDDFT from experts in the field, facilitate the exchange of ideas between junior and senior researchers, and serve as an opportunity for creating new collaborations.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
