The activity is a joint workshop with the USPEX team and the physics department of Isfahan University of Technology (IUT). This workshop aims to provide computational methods for discovering new materials and, ab initio predicting material properties. This program contains scientific lecture sessions in the morning and workshop sessions in the afternoon. The dominant part of the time of the workshops is devoted to teaching the USPEX code by the USPEX team. USPEX code is one of the most successful packages in predicting new material structures with specific properties, which works based on evolutionary algorithms. The scientific lectures would cover the following subjects:

DFT and electronic structure
Machine learning and Data science
Novel material properties
Magnetic materials
Evolutionary algorithm and global optimization
Materials discovery and design
