Heidelberger Institut für Theoretische Studien
Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 35, Heidelberg, Germany
Nach vier Jahren Pause öffnet das Heidelberger Institut für Theoretische Studien (HITS) am Samstag, den 9. Juli 2022, wieder seine Türen im Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 35. Von 11 bis 17 Uhr erwartet die Besucher*innen ein vielfältiges Programm mit allgemeinverständlichen Vorträgen und Präsentationen zu den Forschungsthemen des Instituts, botanischen Gartenführungen in deutscher und englischer Sprache und zahlreichen Angeboten […]
By Eike Hermann Müller, Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Bath, UK Including electrostatics in (kinetic) Monte Carlo simulations of interacting particles is challenging due to the long-range nature of the Coulomb potential. As a result, the computational complexity grows rapidly with N, the number of particles in the system. While the Fast Multipole Method […]
During this 3-day course, attendees will learn basic techniques for modeling of biochemical networks including data access and storage due to the FAIR principles. The first day introduces principles of stoichiometric and constraint-based modeling coupled with hands on exercises using CellNetAnalyzer. The second day continues with kinetic modeling techniques which will be illustrated and exercised […]
By Sarbani Basu, Department of Astronomy, Yale University, USA We normally rely on physics to interpret and understand astrophysical processes. However, with precise seismic data from the Sun and other stars, we can use astrophysics to inform us about the physical properties of stellar matter, and in some cases inform us even about fundamental physics. […]
By David Dao, GainForest/PhD candidate ETH Zurich, Switzerland Nature has been deteriorating at rates unparalleled in human history and the implications are global. Climate change and biodiversity loss are two bullets in the same gun. Perils we face in parallel, both driven by deforestation and land use change. If global tropical deforestation were a country, […]

By Michele Ceriotti, EPFL STI SMX-GE, Lausanne, Switzerland When modeling materials and molecules at the atomic scale, achieving a realistic level of complexity and making quantitative predictions are usually conflicting goals. Data-driven techniques have made great strides towards enabling simulations of materials in realistic conditions with uncompromising accuracy. In this talk I will summarize the […]

By Peter Smillie, Mathematical Institute, Heidelberg University Fullerenes are polyhedral molecules made of carbon atoms, first discovered in 1985. A few isomers are naturally occurring and many more have since been synthesised, with numerous applications across materials science, biology, and medicine. One source of theoretical interest in fullerenes is that there are a lot of […]
