Program (PDF)
This conference takes place in the framework of a Partnership for International Research and Education (PIRE) funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation. The goal of this project is to develop a new international research and graduate education program leveraging cyberinfrastructure investment to study complex phenomena in correlated materials. The project represents a partnership between researchers at Louisiana State University (LSU), the University of North Dakota (UND), Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC), and Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the U.S.; the University of Dortmund, the Max Planck Institute of Solid State Research, the University of Würzburg, and the University of Göttingen in Germany; and the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich in Switzerland. This project receives support from NSF's Office of International Science and Engineering and the Division of Materials Research.
Topics include numerically exact descriptions of disordered and interacting electron systems, complex spin and orbital states of correlated materials, strongly correlated superconductors, including strong correlations in density functional theory, spin models, linked-cluster expansion approaches, matrix product state formulations, and analytic continuation, among others.

You can get a visitor permit at the Visitor Center between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. The visitor center is located on the corner of Dalrymple Drive and Highland Road.
Parking Lot X116 is the closest to the CCT. You can find more about parking at the LSU Parking and Transportation website: https://sites01.lsu.edu/wp/parking/visitors
Lodging: Participants will be staying at the Cook Hotel at LSU. We have reserved a block of rooms for the conference participants.
From the hotel to the CCT it is about a mile walk. Here is a map showing a walking path: https://goo.gl/maps/0P5zu
LSU Bus (LSU Tiger Trails): Both Purple and Gold bus routes pass in front of the hotel and the CCT (they go in opposite directions):
