DESCRIPTION:Prof. Giulia Galli\, Institute for Molecular Engineering - Uni
 versity of Chicago\nThe development of advanced materials is widely recogn
 ized as a key element for new technologies\, which are required to achieve
  a sustainable environment and provide clean and adequate energy for our p
 lanet. We discuss how the combination of advanced theory and computation\,
  in close connection with state-of-the-art experiments\, may lead to succe
 ssful predictions and bottom up design of materials for energy application
 s.\n\nBio: Giulia Galli is the Liew Family Professor of Electronic Structu
 re and Simulations in the Institute for Molecular Engineering at the Unive
 rsity of Chicago. She also holds a Senior Scientist position at Argonne Na
 tional Laboratory (ANL) and she is a Senior Fellow of the UChicago/ANL Com
 putational Institute. Prior to joining UChicago and ANL\, she was Professo
 r of Chemistry and Physics at UC Davis (2005-2013) and the head of the Qua
 ntum Simulations group at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (1998
 -2005).   She holds a Ph.D. in Physics from the International School of A
 dvanced Studies (SISSA) in Trieste\, Italy. She is a Fellow of the America
 n Physical Society (APS) and of the AAAS. She is the recipient of an award
  of excellence from the Department of Energy (2000) and of the Science and
  Technology Award from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (2004). 
 She is currently the director of MICCoM (Midwest Integrated Center for Com
 putational Materials)\, established by DOE in 2015. Her research activity 
 is focused on the development and use of theoretical and computational too
 ls to understand and predict the properties and behavior of materials (sol
 ids\, liquids and nanostructures) from first principles.
