This fourth Berlin Thematic Einstein Semester (postponed from 2020) is
devoted to recent developments in the field of computational materials
science. It aims to bring together experts from the sciences with experts
from computational topology, computational algebraic, discrete
differential and stochastic geometry working on the structure
and function of materials.

The semester is organized within the framework of the Berlin Mathematics
Research Center MATH+ and is supported by the Einstein Foundation Berlin.
