Winterschule "Hierarchical Methods for Dynamics in Complex Molecular Systems"

IAS-Winterschule

Generating and analyzing the dynamics of molecular systems is a true challenge to molecular simulation. It includes processes that happen on the femtosecond scale, such as photoinduced nonadiabatic (bio)chemical reactions, and touches the range of seconds, being e.g. relevant to cellular processes or crack propagation. Thus, many orders of magnitude in time need to be covered either one by one or concurrently. This Winter School will focus on hierarchical methods for dynamics having primarily in mind systems described in terms of many atoms or molecules. Examples will come from materials science, soft matter and life science and fluid dynamics, e.g. the simulationof blood flow on the cell scale. The programme is complemented by lectures on modern numerical methods and parallel computing techniques. For more detailed information and the preliminary programme see the School's web site.

Application

The School is tailored for PhD students and early Postdocs coming from physics, biophysics, chemistry, materials science and related disciplines. The number of participants is limited to 50. Interested young scientists are encouraged to submit an applicaton to wshd@fz-juelich.de

Deadline (extended): 12 February 2012
