Multiscale Computational Modeling of Materials for Energy Applications

This College aims to bring a multiscale view of the materials modelling techniques for energy applications. More specifically, a multiscale methodology ranging from atomistic to mesoscopic and continuum methods will be presented with potential use of materials for industrial applications in: (i) fuel cells and catalysts, (ii) rechargeable batteries, (iii) solar energy conversion and solar fuels, (iv) semiconductors for light emitting technologies and (v) oil recovery techniques. It will also include general lectures on the socio economic impact related to the choice of energy technologies, experimental challenges and engineering challenges.
