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>.

Thread 'PSA -- Contact PI's before applying to graduate school in the US'

Given the current funding situation, you should contact potential departments or research groups before you apply and pay any application fees. Many programs are not taking new graduate students at all this cycle because of funding uncertainty, unless a specific advisor can show they already have money to support you for five years. This is what I’ve heard directly from 20–30 programs. Do not waste money applying blindly.

Thread 'Help with my plan to get into research about bound states'

Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...
