Brief Description:

The mission of the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2) is to achieve the highest level of scientific and technological excellence in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. The Theory & Simulations group has broad experience in development and applications of electronic structure tools, including advanced workflows for atomistic modelling in nanoscience. The group is core developer of the SIESTA ab initio method, a flagship code of the MaX European Centre of Excellence for exacale computing in Materials Science (www.max-centre.eu). THERMOS aims to bring academic codes for the simulation of thermal transport to a new level, transforming them into industry-grade simulation software which can be adopted in the industrial environment.

Main Tasks and responsibilities:

1) Implement software tools and workflows to adapt SIESTA and the thermal transport codes in use in the group to an industrial environment, within the ASAP simulation package developed by SIMUNE Atomistics SL

2) prepare documentation and reports

3) participate in the collaboration with other partners in the project

4) contribute to other activities in the group.
