2023 Quantum Chemistry Workshop

The Department of Chemistry in collaboration with Lehigh University Research Computing is pleased to announce the 3rd Annual Lehigh Quantum Chemistry Workshop on June 5-7, 2023.

This workshop will cover the basics of how to solve molecular and materials chemistry problems using density functional theory. Attendees will gain experience preparing input files (using GaussView or VESTA), running common DFT codes (Gaussian and Quantum ESPRESSO) on a supercomputer (Sol) using scripting and a SLURM scheduler, as well as analyzing the results of common calculations.

Registration has closed.

Any questions about the sessions or topics covered please contact Lisa Fredin lafredin at lehigh.edu
