The Center for Predictive Simulation of Functional Materials (CPSFM) All Hands Meeting 2025 will take place at Argonne National Laboratory from Wednesday, November 5 – Friday, November 7, 2025.
Hosted by the Computational Science Division (CPS), this 2.5-day hybrid meeting will bring collaborators together to discuss progress, set intermediate steps, and align on milestones established by DOE to ensure project success.
The meeting will be held in a hybrid format:
- Onsite at Argonne National Laboratory
- Nov 5. Building 241, Room D172
- Nov. 6-7 - Building 240, Room 1405
- Remote via Teams
About CPSFM
The Center for Predictive Simulation of Functional Materials develops, applies, validates, and disseminates parameter-free methods, open-source codes, and scientific data to predict and explain the properties of functional materials for energy applications.
Our goal is to quantitatively predict, analyze, and ultimately design functional materials with tailored properties-accelerating new materials development and advancing our modeling and understanding of functional materials through clever, more reliable modeling
