CCP members participate in Lorentz workshopThis week, some of us participated in the Lorentz-Center workshop “Accelerating theoretical spectroscopy for complex multiscale materials”, which was a full success. The workshop, co-organized by Linn, brought together experts in theoretical spectroscopy of complex excited state processes in multiscale materials. Approaches from low-scaling and embedding to machine learning and code optimization were covered, and so were electronic structure methods from QMC to GW/BSE. Claudia gave a lecture and a research talk and Raisa, Stu, Jacopo, and Kostas presented posters.CCPClaudiaJacopoKostasLinnRaisaStuartRead more
"You're a quizzard, Harry!"The faculty club of Science and Technology organized the first edition of what is to become an annual event, the faculty pub quiz. A team of the CCP group consisting of Raisa Biega, Stuart Shepard, Jacopo Cocomello, and Menno Bokdam participated in the quiz held in the bar of the Gallery building on campus. The team contended under the name: "You're a quizzard Harry!", a wordplay to a quote from the movie Harry Potter. After eight consecutive rounds of questions covering categories ranging from general knowledge to music and film, our team has scored the most points out of 19 contending teams. It was a close call, with only a half-a-point (out of 80) difference from the number two. The challenge cup was awarded to the team by Jan-Willem Timmerman on behalf of the faculty board. Many thanks to the organizing team in the faculty. We are already looking forward to defending the title next year!
