Centre of Excellence in Computational Nanoscience: COMP
Centre of Excellence in Computational Nanoscience: COMP
COMP (2012-2017) was the Academy of Finland's Centre of Excellence in Computational Nanoscience research. COMP consisted of eleven different research groups working on condensed matter and material physics. Our Centre spanned two departments at Aalto University – the Department of Applied Physics and the Department of Chemistry – and included the Department of Physics at Tampere University of Technology.
About COMP
Eleven research groups at COMP (2012-2017) combined a variety of approaches and disciplines that focused on researching and understanding structures and systems at the atomic and molecular levels from a material physics perspective. This fascinating field comprises a rich variety of phenomena that constantly brings up surprises in the shape of new discoveries.
COMP Leadership and Research Groups
The basic strategy of COMP (2012-2017) was to develop and apply cutting-edge theoretical and computational methods and the best available computing resources in attacking challenging problems in condensed-matter and materials physics.
The COMP Centre of Excellence (2012-2017) strived at a multiscale approach to condensed-matter and materials research, ranging from the quantum world of ångströms and femtoseconds to macroscopic length and time scales
COMP researchers shared their ongoing research at regular seminars by invited speakers and given by our researchers.
