DESCRIPTION:Prof. Oleg Yazyev\nThe field of topological phases of matter h
 as seen spectacular growth during the past decade due to the discovery of 
 novel materials realizing topologically non-trivial electronic structures.
  I will present our efforts towards discovering novel topological material
 s by means of high-throughout computational screening of the databases of 
 known compounds. This search strategy allowed us to identify topological p
 hases in a number of candidate materials\, some of which has already recei
 ved experimental confirmation. Two success stories will be covered - the d
 iscovery of quasi-1D topological insulator β-Bi4I4 and Weyl semimetals Mo
 P2 and WP2. If time permits\, I will also present some ideas of computatio
 nal design of materials that were never synthesized previously.
