Description:

The UAB organises the 22nd edition of the International Workshop on Computational Nanotechnology (IWCN), a scientific meeting that aims to present and debate current trends and future directions in computational nanotechnology in the simulation of nanostructures, nanomaterials and nanodevices. An eminently interdisciplinary field involving areas such as electronics, engineering, physics, applied mathematics, chemistry and biology.

The workshop will be organised in a single-session format with different guest speakers, oral presentations, special sessions, forums and poster presentations on a variety of topics.

On 11 and 12 June, immediately before the IWCN, a satellite workshop entitled the International Wigner Workshop (IWW) will take place to discuss the application of the Wigner function in the descirption of several quantum processes in the fields of physics, chemistry and engineering.
