The Computational Thermodynamics and Kinetics course presents the computational methods used to apply the principles of thermodynamics and kinetics to solve problems in materials science and engineering. The framework used is called Calphad, short for "Calculation of Phase Diagrams." This is a modeling and simulation method within the emerging and transformative discipline of Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME), which has great potential to accelerate materials discovery, product design, and process optimization. This course covers essential concepts in thermodynamics and kinetics and their connection to physical metallurgy before moving on to their computational applications. Students will learn about software tools and databases, with hands-on training. More importantly, students will gain an appreciation for the grandeur of the thermodynamic and kinetic foundations of material behaviour and how this knowledge can be elegantly applied through computational methods to efficiently design new materials and optimize processes for a sustainable world.

Intended audience: UG, PG and PhD students from academic institutions, scientists from research organizations and industry professionals

Prerequisites: Class 12 level of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry
