Abstract

A course in multi-scale modeling of soft matter is offered to students of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at North Carolina State University and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Computational methods appropriate for the electronic, atomistic, and meso-scales are covered. An overview of the course is presented, as well as examples of computational exercises illustrating the different theoretical and simulation approaches for a variety of problems.
