Outline and Purpose of the Course Particle simulations are a tool of analyzing microscopic phenomena, and widely used in various fields of science and engineering. After providing the basics of particle simulation methods through lectures and exercises, we show various practical applications in thermofluids, solid materials, biophysics, and quantum systems.
Course Goals - Understanding the basics of particle simulations
- Mastering data analysis techniques
