课程描述
In this class we will cover simulation methods ranging from classical simulations such as molecular dynamics through quantum calculations, specifically density functional theory. 另外, the class will include a day focused on an introduction to machine learning and a day where we review Python and computational calculus. 研究生s of this class can expect to have a working knowledge of the most common computational techniques used in glass and ceramic industry and science.
课程大纲
Day 1: Review of Python and numerical calculus.
Day 2: Introduction to molecular dynamics.
Day 3: Introduction to density functional theory (DFT).
Day 4: Introduction to machine learning. Students can bring their own databases and professor will be available during lab using machine learning to make predictions.
教练
Dr. Collin Wilkinson, Assistant Professor of Glass Science, Alfred UniversityDr. Collin Wilkinson is an Assistant Professor of Glass Science at Alfred University. Collin earned a Bachelor's in Physics at Coe College followed by a Ph.D. in Material Science at the Pennsylvania State University. He served as director of research and development and CTO of small startups focusing on next-generation recycling technology through material informatics. Collin is the inventor or co-inventor of several new glass compositions for green applications ranging from reducing greenhouse gases to improved glasses for renewable energy applications. Collin joined the faculty at Alfred University in 2022 and his current research revolves around building computational tools for simulations of extreme conditions, understanding the fundamental physics of glassy materials, and engineering better solutions for sustainable glass technology. Collin is the author of over 50 peer-reviewed publications and 4 patents. He is additionally the chair of the undergraduate research committee at Alfred University where he has created a research program for undergraduates from around the world in glass and ceramics.
