THE FIRST AFRCAIN SUMMER SCHOOL ON MOLECULAR MODELLING

About The Event

Contexte, objectifs, retombés économiques et scientifiques…

Contexte La recherche et la synthèse de nouveaux composés chimiques sont aujourd’hui souvent associées à une étude par modélisation moléculaire. La modélisation moléculaire englobe les techniques permettant, non seulement de représenter les propriétés et les réactions chimiques mais aussi de manipuler les modèles des structures en deux ou trois dimensions. La première École d’Été Africaine de Modélisation Moléculaire a pour but de présenter l’état de l’art de la recherche en modélisation moléculaire. C’est le cadre idéal pour présenter des techniques de modélisation moléculaire de pointe utilisables dans de nombreux domaines (catalyse, énergie solaire, médecine…). Objectifs La première École d’été Africaine sur la Modélisation Moléculaire 2023 vise par le biais des conférenciers et des communications de faire découvrir la recherche en cours et offre des opportunités de discuter et de débattre des dernières technologies. C’est le cadre idéal pour présenter des techniques de modélisation moléculaire de pointe utilisables dans de nombreux domaines (catalyse, énergie solaire, médecine…). Tous ceux qui souhaitent améliorer leurs compétences en modélisation moléculaire ou qui souhaitent simplement développer son réseau de relations, d’informations dans un environnement accueillant et décontracté. Retombées de la manifestation : – Valorisation des résultats de la recherche dans le domaine modélisation moléculaire de pointe. – Discuter et de débattre des dernières technologies ayant en relation avec la modélisation moléculaire. – Formation des chercheurs sur des aspects scientifiques complémentaires souvent ignorés. – Réunir tous les concernés que ce soit universitaires ou jeunes chercheurs, autour de l’axe de la modélisation moléculaire. – Etablir des liens étroits entre chercheurs pour passer, de l’étape modélisation à l’étape synthèse, des résultats de labo à la valorisation et l’exploitation des résultats obtenus à travers les universités marocaines. – Mutualiser les expertises et discuter les voies possibles pour monter des formations dans les domaines connexes à la modélisation moléculaire et à ses applications.

Agustí Lledós – Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain Agustí Lledós was born in Barcelona (Spain) in 1955. He obtained a PhD in Chemistry from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) in 1984. After a postdoctoral stay at the Université de Paris-Sud, he returned to UAB where he started a research group devoted to the computational study of organometallic reactivity. He has been Full Professor of Physical Chemistry at UAB since 1994 and Group Leader of the ‘‘Molecular Modeling of Transition Metal Systems’’ group. His research focuses on the computational modeling of the organometallic reactivity and homogeneous catalysis processes, with emphasis on reaction mechanisms. He received the ‘‘RSEQ-Bruker Award for Physical Chemistry’’ in 2008. From 2012 to 2018 he has been the vice-president of the Spanish Chemical Society (RSEQ). Feliu Maseras – Institute of Chemical Reserach of Catalonia (ICIQ), Spain Feliu Maseras received his Ph.D. in 1991 from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). After long post-doctoral stays in the groups of Keiji Mokuma and Odile Eisenstein, he worked as Associate Professor in the group of Agustí Lledós in UAB, from where he moved to his current position as Group Leader at the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ) in 2004. His main research topic has been the computational study of the mechanisms of homogeneous catalysis with QM and QM/MM methods. Recent years have seen an increased interest on other processes such as host-guest catalysis, photocatalysis, single electron transfer. He has also started new research lines in big data treatment and in computational mechanochemistry. In recent years, Feliu Maseras has undertaken editorial activity. He has been a member of the Advisory Editorial Board of Chemical Society Reviews from January 2011 and, more significantly, Associate Editor of ACS Catalysis from March 2019. Jérôme Cornil – Université de Mons, Belgium Jérôme Cornil received a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Mons-Hainaut (Belgium) in 1996 under the supervision of Jean-Luc Brédas. After postdoctoral stays at the University of California at Santa Barbara (with A.J. Heeger) and at MIT Boston (with R.S. Silbey), he became a senior researcher of the Belgian National Fund for Scientific Research (FNRS) in 2000. His research interests mostly deal with the theoretical characterization at the atomistic level of the structural and electronic properties of organic and hybrid materials in their bulk or at interfaces in relation to their use in energy applications. He is (co-)author of more than 400 publications / book chapters. Stavros Athanasopoulos – Universidad Carlos III, Madrid, Spain Stavros Athanasopoulos studied Physics at the University of Ioannina, Greece and obtained his PhD in Physics at Lancaster University, UK (2005) where he studied quantum transport phenomena and Giant Magnetoresistance (GMR) in carbon nanotubes. During his postdoc at the University of Bath (2005-2008) he expanded his research field to organic electronics. In 2008, he moved to the Laboratory for Chemistry of Novel Materials at the University of Mons, where in 2009 he was awarded an FNRS Postdoctoral Fellowship. In 2012, he joined as a research associate the Optoelectronics group at Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge and in 2015 he moved to the Soft Matter Optoelectronics group at the University of Bayreuth. In 2016, he was awarded an incoming CONEX-Marie Curie Experienced Professor Fellowship and joined the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid where he is currently a Visiting Professor. His research aims at furthering the understanding of charge and exciton transport phenomena in disordered semiconductors and the physics underlying next generation organic solar cells and OLEDs. He is developing and applying models to understand the optoelectronic properties of advanced functional materials using methods from statistical physics, condensed matter physics and quantum chemistry. Amine Slassi – Institute of Nanoscience (CNR-NANO), Italy Amine Slassi is a senior postdoc at CNR-NANO under the scientific supervision of Dr. Arrigo Calzolari. His current research activities are mainly focusing on studying the structural, electronic and vibrational properties of amorphous systems and amorphous/crystalline interfaces for the modelling of synaptic electronics devices (e.g. phase change memory) and neuromorphic computing, from first principles calculations, as part of two European Union projects: · INTERSECT project: Interoperable Material-to-Device simulation box for disruptive electronics (H2020-NMBP-TO-IND) funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 814487. · OpenModel project: Integrated Open Access Materials Modelling Innovation Platform for Europe funded by the European Union‘s Horizon 2020 Industrial Leadership Project in the call DT-NMBP-11-2020 Open Innovation Platform for Materials Modelling (RIA), under grant agreement No. 953167. Having completed his Doctoral Studies (PhD) in Condensed Matter Physics (under direction of prof. Abdallah El Kenz) in 2016 from Faculty of Science of Mohammed-V University, Rabat- Morocco, he joined the Laboratory for Chemistry of Novel Materials (CMN) at University of Mons (UMONS)- Belgium as a postdoctoral researcher under the scientific direction of Prof Jerome Cornil, Prof. David Beljonne and Prof Roberto Lazzaroni, from October 2016 to September 2019. Right after that, he joined the National University of Science and Technology in Moscow (Nust MISiS) from December 2019 to March 2020. Since October 2020, he has joined National Research Council (CNR-NANO) of Italy.
