2nd Annual Meeting of Computational Chemists in the Midlands
- From: Tuesday 3 July 2018, 9 am
- To: Tuesday 3 July 2018, 5 pm
- Registration: 9 am
- Location: Nottingham Trent University, Clifton Campus, NG11 8NS,
- Cost: £15
Event details
The second annual Midlands Computational Chemistry Meeting is being held at the Clifton campus of Nottingham Trent University on 3 July 2018. Following on from last year’s meeting, this one-day meeting is an opportunity to meet other computational chemists in the region and hear about the great work our students and colleagues are doing. We’re happy to define Midlands as anywhere where you can travel to Nottingham for a day.
The format of the one day meeting will be contributed presentations (15 + 5 mins) and a poster session over lunch. Preference for oral presentations will be given to postgraduate students, postdocs and recently appointed academics.
Book your place today at our online store. The cost per delegate is £15.
Abstracts along with your preference for oral or poster presentation can be submitted to NTUSSTMidlandsCh@ntu.ac.uk.
The meeting is sponsored by the Theoretical Chemistry Group of the RSC
Poster prizes for the meeting have been generously donated by the Wiley journal, International Journal of Quantum Chemistry.

The battle of image-processing algorithms for deformation monitoring
An engineering challengeNetworking | Seminars | Workshops
20 September 2018
9.30 am - 6 pmWhen considering smartphones as a part of a monitoring system the greatest challenge is making sense of the data. As an industry, we need image-processing tools that are easily accessible and compatible across multiple devices. This event will bring together PhD students and researchers to demonstrate that free, available tools can be used to analyse deformations of both laboratory and real world structures from videos and photos collected with smartphones.
