Introduction to atomistic and mesoscale modeling
From May 4–8, 2026, the IRTG hosted the block lecture “Introduction to Atomistic and Mesoscale Modeling”, bringing together doctoral researchers and lecturers for an intensive week dedicated to modern computational modeling approaches across different length and time scales.
From May 4-5, Prof. Shuji Ogata visited FAU from NITech, Japan, to deliver his lecture series on Simulation for Nano-Technology. His lectures covered topics such as density-functional theory for electrons, molecular dynamics simulation, empirical interatomic potentials, time-evolution algorithms, treatment of Coulomb interactions, as well as constrained atomistic dynamics for free energy calculations.
Following this, Prof. Paul Steinmann continued with the lecture series on Electro-Mechanical-Modeling (EMM). A broad range of topics related to theoretical and computational modeling was covered, including tensor calculus, continuum mechanics, electro-magneto-dynamics, electrostatics, electro-mechano-statics, and electro-mechano finite element methods (FEM). Participants gained insight into the fundamental mathematical frameworks and numerical approaches used to describe and simulate coupled physical phenomena in modern materials and engineering applications.
