DESCRIPTION:Prof. Michael F. Herbst\nThe Julia programming language has em
 erged in the past years as an alternative to the traditional python / Fort
 ran / C++ mix in scientific computing. Being both compiled and high-level 
 it attracts a remarkably broad user base covering computer scientists\, ma
 thematicians and application scientists in physics\, biology\, medicine an
 d many more. With respect to the multidisciplinary field of atomistic mate
 rials modelling I will provide a short overview of the current state of Ju
 lia codes and provide perspectives for using Julia in this field.\n\nOutli
 ne of what we will discuss:\n\n	What makes Julia special: How can it be hi
 gh-level and fast?\n	Overview of existing tools for density-functional the
 ory (DFT) and molecular dynamics (MD)\, such as DFTK\, Molly\, Wannier and
  related ecosystem packages\n	Some hands-on showcases\n\nThe presentation 
 material is available on https://github.com/mfherbst/julia-for-materials.
