Abstract

In this project it is proposed the development of computational methods for the simulation of scattering intensities and pair distances distribution functions for models built but the finite elements method. Using this approach, very complex models can be build, providing simulated curves that could not be obtained by other methods. During the project the student will develop advanced abilities in programming, simulations, model optimizations as well as least squares procedures for fitting of experimental data.
