Modern computational techniques in soft matter physics
The course introduces advanced tools and techniques for performing computer simulations.
It is a follow up of the introductory course on “Computer Simulations techniques in Statistical Physics”.
Familiarity with basic simulation techniques (molecular dynamics or Monte Carlo simulations) is recommended to attend the course.
