A Virtual Lab Built for
Real Computational Research
SHAN Academy of Quantum Simulation & Materials (SAQSM) is a virtual lab founded to promote hands-on learning and research in computational materials science. The lab focuses on advanced simulation methods — Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Molecular Dynamics (MD) — to explore materials at the atomic level.
SAQSM is designed for students, researchers, and early-career scientists who want to gain real-world skills in tools like CASTEP, DMol³, and Materials Studio — even without access to physical laboratories or expensive infrastructure.
The mission is to create a collaborative, knowledge-sharing platform where learners from across the world can engage in training, research, and innovation. Whether you're working on a thesis, publishing papers, or learning simulations for the first time — SAQSM offers the guidance, tools, and inspiration to support your journey.
