Sources to study computational materials science

Click For Summary
For self-studying computational materials science, accessing the journal "Computational Materials Science" via university resources is recommended. Engaging with this journal can provide valuable insights, even for undergraduates with limited experience. It's also suggested to reach out to professors associated with the upcoming course for additional study materials and resources. Utilizing these academic connections can enhance the learning experience. Exploring these avenues will facilitate a better understanding of the subject before the formal course begins.

Can you recommend me a source to self study computational materials science? I am currently doing an internship and want to study in my spare time for materials science. I will take a course named computational methods in materials science but I want to learn it earlier than that but I can't find any study materials for it. I know c programming and currently working on python.

Others can give you better advice on the best sources, but when I did a Google search on computational materials science the top hit was to a journal:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/computational-materials-science

Do you have access to that journal through your university or internship? :smile:
Yes I have. Thanks. Since I am still an undergrad, I don't have experience on reading journal but I will give it a try.

Why don't you contact the professor (or professors) who will be teaching it or who have taught it for references? If no professor is listed, ask the department secretary <ETA: for names of professors>.

Hi all, Hope you are doing well. I'm a current grad student in applied geophysics and will finish my PhD in about 2 years (previously did a HBSc in Physics, did research in exp. quantum optics). I chose my current field because of its practicality and its clear connection to industry, not out of passion (a clear mistake). I notice that a lot of people (colleagues) switch to different subfields of physics once they graduate and enter post docs. But 95% of these cases fall into either of...
