Solcore Development Bootcamp 2018

• Dates: 20th-21st September 2018
• Location: Imperial College London (South Kensington Campus), United Kingdom

Overview

The first Solcore Development Bootcamp will take place the next 20th-21st of September at Imperial College London, United Kingdom. This event, organised by the COST Action Multiscale Solar, will bring together experts in modelling of solar cells and semiconductor materials with the single purpose of making Solcore a better tool, free and open source. If you do not know Solcore yet, check the main page. During the Bootcamp, we will use Solcore v5.5 as baseline, so make sure you get the correct one.

The specific goals of the Bootcamp will be:

• Improve existing capabilities, including:
  • Implementation of physical and mathematical models
  • Documentation
  • Examples
• Create new built-in functionality
• Interface Solcore with third-party tools
• Expand the pool of Solcore users and their experience

The Bootcamp is not a training school. Attendees are expected to have already some familiarity with Solcore by the time of the event in order to make the most of it. During the event, the attendees will be divided in different groups depending on their topic of interest (eg. quantum models for nanostructures, transport models, etc.), so they can share information, discuss the implementation of their ideas and combine their expertise. A mailing list involving all the registered attendees will be created and used as a discussion point during the summer to organise those groups and main areas of interest.
