Stochastic Computational Electrostatics and Applications: Computing Capacitance

Published: | 12:20 pm | Posted in: Events

Speaker: Michael Mascagni Date: Oct 27, 2023, 2:15 – 3:10 PM Abstract: We are interested in using stochastic (Monte Carlo) methods to solve problems that are relevant to electrostatics and specifically to semiconductor design. Thus, we begin by introducing what Monte Carlo are and show how they can be used to compute several numerical quantities. […]
