The “Math colloquium” is a special event in honor of former HITS group leader and alumna Anna Wienhard (Groups and Geometry group), who took up her new position as Director of the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in November 2022. The distinguished speakers at the colloquium are: Steve Trettel, University of San […]
By Rafal Weron, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Poland Although electricity price forecasting aims at predicting both spot and forward prices, the vast majority of research is focused on short-term horizons which exhibit dynamics unlike in any other market. The reason is that power system stability calls for a constant balance between production and […]
By Fernanda Duarte, Department of Chemistry, University of Oxford, UK Efficiently and accurately modelling chemical reactions in the condensed phase stands as one of the ‘grand challenges’ in computational chemistry. Although characterizing reaction energy pathways has become routine, the exploration of intricate reaction mechanisms remains a time-consuming and non-systematic endeavour, even for experienced computational […]
By Volker Deringer, Department of Chemistry, University of Oxford, UK Machine learning (ML) based interatomic potential models are increasingly popular simulation tools for molecular and materials systems and hold promise for use on exascale supercomputers . ML potentials are fitted to large sets of quantum-mechanical reference data, and therefore developing high-quality datasets and automated […]
By Laura Maria Sangalli, MOX - Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Recent years have seen an explosive growth in the recording of increasingly complex and high-dimensional data, whose analysis calls for the definition of new methods, merging ideas and approaches from statistics and applied mathematics. My talk will focus on spatial […]
By Meik Bittkowski, Science Media Center Germany, Cologne One way to augment (not replace) science journalism is to provide technological support for journalistic work processes, from monitoring and research to the production of new content. The Science Media Center Germany, founded in 2015, had its own R&D lab right from the start to […]
The symposium is a special event in honor of Professor Wilfried Juling, whose decade-long leadership has greatly supported and furthered HITS. Speakers at the symposium are: Carsten Könneker, HITS Stiftung Pascal Friederich, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) Ganna (Anya) Gryn´ova, HITS and Heidelberg University Sebastian Lerch, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and HITS […]
By Michele Parrinello, Italian Institute of Technology, Genova (Italy) The transition to a green economy depends critically on the development of efficient catalysts that could for instance help in sequestrating CO2 or producing H2. To reach this goal a detailed understanding of the catalytic mechanism would be of great value. Unfortunately, most industrial […]
By Volker Springel, Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics, Garching, Germany HITS Fellow 2018 Numerical simulations of cosmic structure formation have become a powerful tool in astrophysics. Starting right after the Big Bang, they predict the dark matter backbone of the cosmic web far into the non-linear regime and follow complex galaxy formation physics with […]
Come and join us for our Open Day at HITS on Saturday, 13 July, from 11am-5pm The Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies will open its doors to the public again. The program includes science talks in English and German, presentations and hands-on stations, all showcasing the research of the Institute. One of the highlights this […]
