Colloquium Meik Bittkowski: Augmenting Science Journalism – The development of technology-based support for science journalism at the Science Media Center Germany

Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany

  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 […]

HITS Colloquium “AI at HITS” – Symposium in honor of Wilfried Juling

Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany

  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 […]

HITS-SIMPLAIX Joint Colloquium Michele Parrinello: Do we really understand catalysis?

Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany

  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 […]

Colloquium Volker Springel: Interfacing galaxy formation with precision cosmology

Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany

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 […]

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 […]

HITS Colloquium Guillermo Cabrera-Vives: Machine Learning & Astronomy: Unique Challenges for a Unique Field

Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany

By Guillermo Cabrera-Vives, Department of Computer Science, Universidad de Concepción,  Chile Currently Klaus Tschira Guest Professor at HITS   Astronomy, like many other fields, is experiencing an explosion of data, with vast amounts of information pouring in from the universe. This influx has driven the development of new machine learning (ML) tools, enabling new discoveries […]

HITS-SIMPLAIX Joint Colloquium Markus Meuwly: Computational Protein Dynamics in the Era of Machine-Learned Atomistic Simulations

Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany

  By Markus Meuwly, Department of Chemistry, University of Basel, Switzerland   Machine Learning-based techniques have the potential to fundamentally change how we approach characterizing and understanding chemical and biological materials. It is anticipated that ML applied to protein dynamics allows to carry out atomistic simulations on functionally relevant time scales using models approaching chemical […]

HITS-SIMPLAIX Joint Colloquium Simon Olsson: How Can Generative AI Help Understand the Physics of Molecules?

Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany

  By Simon Olsson, Chalmers University of Technology, Department for Computer Science and Engineering, Section for Data Science and AI, Sweden Generative AI, including large language models and image generation technologies, is influencing society and industry broadly. Current, Generative AI methods are machine learned models. These models learn statistical distributions similar to those broadly used […]

HITS-SIMPLAIX Joint Colloquium Cecilia Clementi: Modeling Protein Dynamics with Machine Learning and Molecular Simulation

Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany

  By Cecilia Clementi, Einstein Professor Freie Universität Berlin, Department of Physics, Berlin, Germany The last years have seen an immense increase in high-throughput and high-resolution technologies for experimental observation as well as high-performance techniques to simulate molecular systems at a microscopic level, resulting in vast and ever-increasing amounts of high-dimensional data. However, experiments provide […]

HITS Colloquium Victoria Stodden: Verifying Correctness in AI-enabled Scientific Research – a New Frontier

Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany

By Victoria Stodden, Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering, University of Southern California, USA In the last 10 years colossal cloud infrastructure investments behind the rise of near-ubiquitous global mobile technologies have trickled down to scientific research through innovative infrastructure including cloud compute and storage, I/O tools, data analysis and modeling frameworks, […]
