International Workshop on Electronic Structure 2024 (ES 24)
The 36th annual Workshop on Recent Developments in Electronic Structure Theory commenced on June 2-5, 2024 at Boston University with 136 in-person and 75 virtual attendees. The organizing committee was composed of five faculty at Boston University with seven local area faculty comprising the greater Boston area advisory committee. On the first day, two hands-on workshops, NEXMD and ComDMFT were held on June 2, two full days of presentations were held on June 3-4 and one half day on June 5. There were 19 invited speakers who spoke about the state-of-the-art in electronic structure methods, including density functional theory, many-body perturbation theory, and the incorporation of machine learning into electronic structure calculations. In addition, 45 young scientists presented posters on June 4. Housing at a reduced rate was provided at the Boston University dormitories. This conference provided a valuable opportunity for scientists, students, postdocs, and senior researchers alike, to disseminate their latest research results, discuss their ideas and best practices, learn from each other, and form new collaborations.
