The TIMES doctoral network merges different areas of expertise within first-principles computational and theoretical approaches of high accuracy and predictive power, to improve existing methods for incorporating nonequilibrium dynamics in condensed matter physics.

TIMES integrates academic and non-academic groups across Europe and is training the new generation of scientists who will devise novel theoretical and computational frameworks for simulating non-equilibrium phenomena and acquire experience in associated industrial applications. A particular emphasis will be put on the study of correlated structural dynamics, coherent light-matter interaction, and dissipative phenomena.


Challenges
