This subcategory is dedicated to discussions within the Indonesian Computational Society (Masyarakat Komputasi Indonesia, MKI), focusing on the intersection of computational techniques and scientific research. Engage with experts in the fields of computational chemistry, physics, materials science, and more, to explore how computational methods are accelerating discoveries and innovations. Share insights on MKI’s role in advancing computational science in Indonesia, collaborate on interdisciplinary projects, and discuss the development and application of open-source computational tools that drive progress in material science and other scientific domains. This space encourages collaboration across academia, industry, and research institutions to harness the power of computation in solving complex scientific challenges.
