Workshop
Young Researchers´School: Tutorial on Scientific Writing and the Editorial Process
Coordinator: Prof. Dr. Valtencir Zucolotto, IFSC / USP
The " Young Researchers´School " aims to develop / improve / strengthen the
skills necessary for researchers to do High Impact science, upon knowing the state of
the art in specific areas. The School will be offered to under and Graduate students
and post-docs.
It is hoped that researchers can optimize their potential in doing research, with regard to:
1) Development of national and international research projects with bold objectives,
and implementation of high-level scientific research. Such an approach is essential to
promote significant advances at the frontier of knowledge of each area.
2) Production of international scientific articles, through appropriate and efficient
writing.
As a result, we expect to collaborate with the formation of high-level
researchers, trained to recognize and act on the
state-of-the-art in their fields, in a way
to generate relevant knowledge and innovation for society.

Symposium R
Computational Design for Development of Functional Materials - Synergy Between Theoreticians and Experimentalists
Scope of the Symposium
This symposium aims to discuss research frontiers and joining studies in theoretical and experimental areas in the control and understanding of intrinsic and extrinsic properties of functional materials.
The main idea is to promote discussions involving fundamental and technological aspects of materials systems that may lead to the improvement, understanding and foreseeing of the properties of technological devices. It will be desirable to gather researchers actively working in Materials Science focusing on nanomaterials with functional properties and using both theoretical methods or experimental techniques to characterize electronic and structural properties. This meeting intends to open up new opportunities to collaboration between experimentalists and theoreticians improving the ways to gain insights into the atomistic understanding of the nanomaterials. The list of invited speakers includes several world leaders in computational simulations showing how the theoretical contributions can significantly aid the experimental observations to gain a better knowledge in Materials Science. Several participants for oral contributions will be selected among the best abstracts. This symposium took place successfully in similar format in SBPMat meetings since 2004 to 2013.
Abstracts will be solicited in (but not limited to) the following areas
- 1. Computational simulation methods and experimental techniques applied to study structural and electronic properties of surfaces and bulks related to functional materials
- Nanostructured materials
- Development and application of art state computational methodologies applied to Materials Science
- Materials with potential application in energy generation and environment
- Transparent conducting oxides
- Electron-material interaction
- Chemical reactions in materials synthesis
- Metal nanoparticles growth from electron beam irradiation
- Computational design of biomaterials
- Theoretical insights in catalysis
