We are excited to share our experiences and insights of our international guests visiting our Center for Atomistic Modelling and Materials Design (CAMMD), IIT Madras in the month of August 2024.
Prof. Andreas Kreisel, Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen. He interacted with groups of Prof. Ranjit Nanda, Prof. Shantanu Mukherjee and several other faculties to discuss ongoing theoretical and experimental research projects. A highlighted of his visit was a seminar he gave at IIT on the new field of altermagnetism. His visit also culminated in the development of a number of collaborative research projects with members of CAMMD. These projects are expected to foster long-term collaboration between researchers at CAMMD and Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen.
Prof. Bartomeu Monserrat, University of Cambridge, UK. He had discussions with Prof. Ranjit Kumar Nanda, Dr. Satyesh Kumar Yadav, Dr. Shantany Mukherjee, Dr. Yamijala SRC Sharma and Dr. Sooraj. We had discussions on the battery materials database, that CAMMD is developing and topological materials database that Prof. Bartomew Monserrat group is developing. We agreed to share best practices in the field of materials database, like collecting, curating, storing and displaying data on materials.
