Department of Physics & Astrophysics | University of Delhi

The Conference on “Unveiling Energy Materials: Theory and Experiment,” along with a satellite Workshop, will bring together leading experts to bridge the gap between theoretical predictions and experimental realizations by discussing strategies, tools, and challenges in both fields.

Note: Selected articles, after peer review, will be published as a cross-journal conference collection launched in collaboration with Discover Electrochemistry, Springer Nature.

• Computational Methods: Explore foundational and advanced concepts in computational materials science, including Density Functional Theory (DFT) and machine learning for energy material discovery.

• Experimental Techniques: Get an introduction to key experimental methods for materials synthesis and characterization, including XRD, SEM/HRTEM, and UV-Vis.

• Integrated Learning: Bridge the gap between theory and experiment through case studies that demonstrate how computational predictions guide material synthesis and performance evaluation.

• Energy Applications: Learn about the development of advanced quantum materials for critical energy technologies, including hydrogen generation, CO₂ conversion, solar energy harvesting, fuel cells, and next-generation batteries.

• Networking and Collaboration: Connect with leading researchers and peers in a focused, intimate setting designed to foster interdisciplinary dialogue between modelers, experimentalists, and engineers.

• Hands-on Training: Acquire practical skills with widely used computational tools, including VASP, Atomic Simulation Environment (ASE), and VESTA, and learn to apply them in a workshop setting.

• Skill Development: Acquire essential skills in data analysis and visualization to interpret both computational and experimental results effectively.
