Second NIC Excellence Project 2015

The NIC Peer Review Board honours outstanding simulation projects with the "NIC Excellence Project" award twice a year. We are pleased to announce that the current award goes to Prof. Alexander Lichtenstein (Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Hamburg) for his project "Continuous Time Quantum Monte Carlo for Materials". The project investigates the magnetic properties of crystalline solids. It is the second project that was honoured in 2015. The previous award went to Prof. Marcus Müller (Georg-August-Universität Göttingen) and his project "Structure and Dynamics of Polymer and Lipid Systems" in April.
