DESCRIPTION:Prof. Oleg Yazyev\, Chair of Computational Condensed Matter Ph
 ysics\, EPFL\n\nIn my talk\, I will cover our recent efforts in guiding th
 e search for novel materials by means of first-principles calculations. I 
 will mostly focus on the results obtained using the high-throughput comput
 ational screening methodology that we developed for identifying materials 
 hosting various topological phases. Several materials resulting from this 
 search\, namely the β-phase Bi4I4 topological insulator and two Weyl semi
 metals MoP2 and WP2\, have been synthesized\, characterized and the predic
 ted topological phases have been confirmed by experiments. These examples 
 illustrate the full cycle of materials discovery guided by computations. I
  will then briefly discuss one possible strategy for designing materials 
 “from scratch”\, now targeting the clean energy domain of applications
