From April 3 to 9, 2025, researchers from the Center for Solid State Physics and New Materials participated in the course “Electronic-Structure Simulations for User Communities at Large-Scale Facilities”, organized by the Laboratory for Materials Simulations at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), Switzerland.

The course comprised four modules covering topics such as density functional theory (DFT), materials property prediction, and practical sessions using the AiiDAlab platform. Led by experts including Prof. Nicola Marzari and Dr. Giovanni Pizzi, the program emphasized the application of electronic-structure simulations in experimental research at large-scale facilities.

This training aligns with the objectives of the HIP-2D-QM project, enhancing our team's capabilities in computational methods for advanced materials characterization.
