2nd HBPMolSim Training Workshop on Tools for Molecular Simulation of Neuronal Signaling Cascades and HBP BRAVE partner project open meeting

Mathematikon Heidelberg University Im Neuenheimer Feld 205, Heidelberg, Germany

The second HBPMolSIM training workshop on Tools for Molecular Simulation of Neuronal Signaling Cascades will take place in hybrid format on 21-23 June 2023 at the Mathematikon, Heidelberg University (free of charge). The workshop will include training on the SDA7 and tauRAMD tools developed in the MCM group at HITS, focusing on the computation of […]

ChatGPT and its ilk

Public Talk by Anil Ananthaswamy, HITS Journalist in Residence 2023 in collaboration with the Heidelberg Laureate Forum Foundation There are anecdotal reports of cab drivers asking their passengers: “Have you heard of ChatGPT?” This cultural phenomenon is indicative of an inflection point in the development of a form of artificial intelligence (AI) called the large […]

Math Colloquium and HITS Fellow Ceremony

Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany

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.

Colloquium Rafal Weron: Electricity price forecasting in the 2020s

Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany

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 […]

HITS-SIMPLAIX Joint Colloquium Fernanda Duarte: Exploring chemical reactivity in the age of automation and ML

Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany

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 […]

FAIRDOM User Meeting

The upcoming FAIRDOM user meeting will focus on presentations by FAIRDOM team members including: - Update about features under development (e.g. Samples in FAIRDOM-SEEK) - Presentation of the current roadmap - Discussion about future plans (e.g. integration of other tools) All participants of the meeting are invited to contribute to the discussions and to ask […]

HITS-SIMPLAIX Joint Colloquium Volker Deringer: Machine-learning-driven advances in modelling and understanding disordered materials

Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany

  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 […]

Colloquium Laura Maria Sangalli: Physics-Informed Spatial and Functional Data Analysis over non-Euclidean Domains

Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany

  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 […]
