Date: Thursday, July 25, 2024
Venue: Online mode
Organized by: Centre for Development of Advanced Computing, Pune under NSM
 

 
About Molecular Tailoring Approach (MTA)
Quantum chemistry (QC) is a powerful tool for studying molecular properties, but its scalability is limited for large systems. MTA, developed by Prof. Gadre and collaborators, is a fragment-based method that enables ab initio calculations on large molecules using standard hardware. It is well-benchmarked and offers accurate estimations of molecular properties.
  • Calculation of single-point energy/gradients
  • Estimation of vibrational IR/Raman spectrum
  • Geometry optimization at desired level of theory and basis set
  • Estimation of inter/intramolecular interactions (e.g., H-bonds, Pi-Pi)
  • Construction of potential energy surfaces
  • Efficient use of off-the-shelf hardware

Agenda
This one-day workshop includes lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on sessions to help participants understand and apply the MTA software.
 

 
Target Audience
Researchers, students, faculty, and professionals interested in computational chemistry and materials science. Participants will gain hands-on experience using MTA on the NSM HPC system.
