Dr. Lian, ICIQ MSCA fellow, showcased his pioneering research at the 6th general conference for the worldwide Psi-k community (August 22–25, 2022 in Lausanne). This prestigious event, known as the largest worldwide gathering in electronic structure, convened luminaries and enthusiasts alike in the pursuit of advancing fundamental theory, algorithms, and computer codes to comprehend, predict, and design materials properties and functions.
Psi-k conferences are renowned for their stimulating environment, and this year was no exception. With a rich program spanning 3.5 days, attendees were treated to plenary talks and symposia covering diverse scientific, engineering, and industrial endeavors related to theoretical condensed matter physics, quantum chemistry, thermodynamics, and statistical mechanics.
“… to develop fundamental theory, algorithms, and computer codes in order to understand, predict, and design materials properties and functions. Theoretical condensed matter physics, quantum chemistry, thermodynamics, and statistical mechanics form its scientific core. Applications encompass inorganic, organic and bio-materials, and cover a whole range of diverse scientific, engineering, and industrial endeavours.”
Psi-k mission statement
Dr. Lian’s presentation contributed to the vibrant tapestry of discussions, offering fresh insights into the dynamic behavior of materials at the atomic scale. His work exemplifies the mission of Psi-k, driving innovation and understanding in materials science and engineering. As the conference drew more than 1000 participants, it served as a nexus for collaboration and discovery, fostering interactions that transcend geographical and disciplinary boundaries.
