The Flipped Classroom: A Fresh Look at Teaching Science
时间：2015年12月10日（星期四）13:30
地点：硅材料国家重点实验室1号楼会议室
There has been a time when Lectures, Excercises and Lab sessions where the three holy ingredients for science education. This model is so deeply rooted that many of us cannot imagine any other approach. There is objective proof, however, that the learning gain of students in the traditional teaching model is far from optimal. Flipped-classroom teaching is a way to increase the learning gain significantly. It does not require more time from students and teachers, but it requires them to invest their time and efforts in a different way. In this seminar I will explain the method, and report on the results we achieved while using it. Tips, tools and templates for teachers who want to try the method will be provided.

Materials Discovery by High-Throughput Computation
时间：2015年12月14日（星期一）13:30
地点：硅材料国家重点实验室1号楼会议室
Progress in science and engineering often depends on this critical request: “give me a material that simultaneously satisfies this, this and that criterion”. Engineers would love to browse through lists of materials with their properties, in order to pick the right one for their problem at hand. Unfortunately, when compared to the sheer number of possible materials and properties, such lists are very much incomplete and sparse. In this lecture, I will take you to a simple world where you will learn how rich the world of materials actually is. Armed with this knowledge, I’ll bring you back to our real world to demonstrate how high-throughput computation can extend our knowledge about materials and their properties, at a pace much faster than can be achieved in experimental labs.

Bringing DFT Codes Back tothe Test Bench: What Did We Learn?
时间：2015年12月16日（星期三）13:30
地点：硅材料国家重点实验室1号楼会议室
Density Functional Theory is the work horse of computational condensed matter physics. The methodology has been implemented in many independent computer codes. Which codes are the best ones? And how can we determine that? In this lecture, I will report the conclusions obtained by a team of 70 scientists, who have taken many (and really many!) DFT codes to the test bench.
