Skoltech is an international graduate research-focused university that was founded by the group of world-renowned scientists in 2011. Skoltech's curriculum focuses on technology and innovation, offering Master's programs in 11 technological disciplines. Students receive rigorous theoretical and practical training, design their own research projects, participate in internships and gain entrepreneurial skills in English. The faculty is comprised of current researchers with international accreditation and achievements.

Computational Materials Science Seminar (CMS)

The seminar covers both computational methodology and its applications to explain and predict materials. We encourage to present the computational studies for any kind of solid, soft, and liquid materials. If you would like to present your results at our seminar please contact Aksenov Dmitry. The seminar is held on Thursdays, 16:00 at Skoltech, Moscow.

Coordinator: Aksenov Dmitry
