General information#
Learning goals
In the report you should show that you are able to…
calculate the binding energy of an adsorbate
choose a small research project, motivate your choice, and describe the expected outcome
describe the most important parameters for a DFT calculation (for inspiration: [1])
answer your research question, and analyze your results with a critical view
compare your methods and results to scientific publications (some publications can be found in the reference lists on the pages of the respective projects)

Electrochemistry group meeting |
Prof. Marc Koper researches electrocatalysis here at LIC. He will talk about making hydrogen using water electrolysis driven by renewable energy.
Prof. Kieron Burke is one of the people who developed the well-known PBE exchange-correlation functional. He will explain the current state of the art of DFT in general language, and talk about his recent research.
In the electrochemistry group meeting, post-docs and PhD’s will talk about their current research. Topics include: DFT simulations of platinum electrodes, electrochemical characterization of gold electrodes, spectroscopy of water and ions near electrodes.
