We are organising a workshop "Frontiers in Thermal and Electronic Transport in Materials: A Tribute to Nicola Bonini" at King’s College London, UK on April 11th and 12th, 2024.
This workshop will highlight recent significant developments in the first-principles methods, algorithms and computer codes that address the challenges in modelling charge and heat transport processes in realistic materials and the underlying interactions. We will also discuss the applications of these methods to materials of current interest, including layered and two-dimensional materials, materials for photovoltaic and thermoelectric energy conversion, and superconducting materials. The workshop will also showcase recent progress on the experimental characterisation of those materials.
This workshop will be dedicated to the memory of Dr. Nicola Bonini, who passed away in October 2022. Nicola was a Reader in the Department of Physics at King’s College. The invited talks will be given by the leaders in these fields, including Nicola's collaborators and colleagues, and will celebrate his research and achievements.
The workshop will include invited talks, personal reflections and a poster session. The registration is open and the registration deadline is on March 14th.

We gratefully acknowledge funding from the Psi-k and CCP9 networks, MARVEL and THEOS.
