UnRisk goes to Tampere

I have been invited as a speaker to the

CMMP AUTUMN SCHOOL: BASICS OF ELECTRONIC STRUCTURE CALCULATIONSTAMPERE UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, NOVEMBER 12-14, 2014


The Tampere node of the National Doctoral Training Network in Condensed Matter and Material Physicis (CMMP) organized a three-day school on electronic structure methods with recognized speakers from both Finland and abroad. The school has been targeted mainly to postgraduate students in related fields, but also postdocs as well as motivated undergraduate students has been encouraged to participate.

I have been asked to give an overview of the numerical methods the students can use not only in electronic structure theory but also in the (financial) industry. So I tried to cover many different topics from inverse problems, Monte Carlo methods to PDEs. It was a nice experience to speak there and motivate  young people that the methods they learn for their master or PhD thesis will also be valuable for their live after university.
