The role of simple models and concepts in computational materials science

Today I am giving the first talk in a session on Computational materials science at the 4th International Conference on Advances in Materials and Materials Processing.

Here are the slides for my talk "The role of simple models and concepts in computational materials science".

I will be referring the audience to the article such as those mentioned here, here and here that give a critical assessment of computer simulations and stress the importance of concepts.

I welcome comments, particularly as I think the talk could be stronger and clearer.

A very effective Hamiltonian in nuclear physics

Atomic nuclei are complex quantum many-body systems. Effective theories have helped provide a better understanding of them. The best-known a...
