| Theme | Introduction to CASTEP Bring PC! | |
| Abstract | What is CASTEP? CASTEP is a software package which uses density functional theory to provide a good atomic-level description of all manner of materials and molecules. CASTEP can give information about total energies, forces and stresses on an atomic system, as well ascalculating optimum geometries, band structures, optical spectra, phonon spectra and much more. It can also perform molecular dynamics simulations. | |

| Theme | Advanced Professional English Communication Course | |
| Abstract | As an academic, presenting your own ideas and research effectively is one of the most important skills necessary to achieve both success in the community and respect from your peers. The goal of this Advanced Professional English Communications course is to help non-native English speakers with their presentation skills in both the written and oral forms.? While not exhaustive in scope, this short course intends to lay the foundation upon which the participants can build for future success in English communications. This course will take place in two sessions on two different days according to the following schedule: Thursday, February 5th Friday, February 6th |

| Theme | Magnetic Recording and Micro-Magnetic Simulations | |
| Abstract | Micromagnetic models are used extensively in the magnetic recording industry as an aid in the design and optimisation of hard disk drives. They are also used in academic research to predict the behaviour of magnetic wires, patterned dots and other objects. Realistic models are essential in order to avoid artifacts in the simulation results. This talk will discuss the components of a micromagnetic model and will describe approaches and techniques which can be used to bring the modeled results closer to those obtained from real media. Particular emphasis will be placed on magnetic recording applications. Methods to deal with irregular grain sizes, non-magnetic grain boundaries and finite temperature will be proposed. | |

| Theme | Constraint Satisfaction Problems ? Solving them on parallel and quantum computers and why should we care? - | |
| Abstract | This talk will cover the Constraint Satisfaction Problems such as those that occur in Logic Synthesis, Computer Architecture, Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, with Graph Coloring and Satisfiability as primary examples. It will be shown that the new GPU (Graphics Processor Unit) and CUDA language allow to solve many of these problems efficiently. It will be further shown that the quantum technology already exists, ORION computer by DWAVE, that allow to solve these problems in an experimental system using Internet APIs. The talk will explain very briefly the theories of new systems needed to solve CSP and several practical CSP applications in CAD, EDA, graphics, robotics and quantum computing. | |
