Hello #fediverse #introduction

This is the account of the Mathematics for Materials modelling (MatMat) group at the institutes at #EPFL lead by @herbst.

We work on #atomistic simulations of materials taking an #interdisciplinary point of view to make methods faster and understand their modelling errors. Our goal is to provide reliable simulation methods that help finding the materials of the future!

Here we will post updates on our #research activities and group-related events.

Hello #fediverse #introduction

I'm Michael, professor in the institutes of #mathematics and #materials science and head of the @MatMat group at #EPFL.

I work on the #atomistic simulations of materials, mainly density-functional theory (DFT) methods, understanding #simulation errors and #uncertainties in predicted materials properties.

I use techniques from
#physics #computerscience #machinelearning and
develop related #julialang packages such as the density-functional toolkit (#dftk).
