Institute for Condensed Matter Physics

On the occasion of 70 years anniversary from the invention of the Monte Carlo method there will be held in Lviv the Ulam Computer Simulations (UCS) workshop on challenges and opportunities in molecular simulations. The aim of this first UCS Workshop is twofold. First of all, we are looking forward to paying tribute to the legacy of Ulam for his pioneering contribution to the development of the field of computer simulations. Secondly, we wish to bring together leading researchers on computer simulations of soft matter and to offer the young researchers and graduate students an in-depth review of the most recent developments in the field that poses many challenges nowadays.

More information can be found at the Workshop site http://icmp.lviv.ua/ucsw2017.

On Tuesday, September 6 at 15:30 in the Conference Hall of the Institute for Condensed Matter Physics (ICMP, 1 Svientsitskii Str., Lviv, Ukraine) Bertrand BERCHE (Universite de Lorraine, Nancy, France) will give an inaugural lecture
“Quantum Mechanics on a Ring”
on the occasion of conferring on him the degree of Doctor honoris causa. of the ICMP.

Anyone interested is welcome!

After a serious illness, our colleague and good friend Jean-Pierre Badiali passed away on April 15, 2016, in the afternoon. His death is a great loss to all of us and the whole scientific community. We express our deepest condolences to the family of J.‑P. Badiali, colleagues and friends. Jean-Pierre will remain in our memory as an outstanding scientist and an incredibly good person.

On June 9-10, 2016 XVI Workshop and Award for young researchers in the field of statistical physics and condensed matter theory will be held at the Institute for Condensed Matter Physics.
