Colloquium Sarbani Basu: Learning physics through astronomy – the Sun and Stars as laboratories (Seminar | Online)

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 […]

Kolloquium Lillian T. Chong: Weighted ensemble simulations of long-timescale dynamics (Sonstige Veranstaltung | Online)

The weighted ensemble (WE) path sampling strategy orchestrates multiple simulations in parallel with rigorous statistical resampling at fixed time intervals to maintain rigorous kinetics. WE simulations can be orders of magnitude more efficient than standard simulations in generating unbiased, atomically detailed pathways for rare events such as large conformational transitions […]
