DESCRIPTION:Giulia Galli\nLiew Family professor of Electronic Structure an
 d Simulations in the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering\;\nProfessor
  of Chemistry at the University of Chicago\;\nDirector the Midwest Integra
 ted Center for Computational Materials\, Argonne National Laboratory.\nMat
 erials are enablers of innovation in science and technology and have broug
 ht about revolutionary changes to society: familiar examples are the mater
 ials used in transistors and in batteries that have become omnipresent in 
 our daily lives.\n\nIn this Campus Lecture — also a MARVEL Distinguished
  Lecture — Giulia Galli will tell an atomic-level story of how we can pr
 edict and design materials for next generation technologies\, by combining
  theories based on quantum mechanics\, software running on high performanc
 e computers and ever-growing amounts of data. \n \nThey aim to tackle tw
 o outstanding challenges: designing sustainable materials to efficiently c
 apture solar energy and enable technologies deployable in both developed a
 nd developing countries\, and inventing materials to build radically novel
  sensors and computers\, to move in earnest into the quantum information a
 ge.
