Modeling/simulations of molecular systems
The SimEA research team will be hosting an online training event that aims to introduce you to modelling and simulations using supercomputers. The training will consist of the following topics:
- Create a molecular configuration by minimising the energy of a system
- Calculate the energy of a molecular system using Density Functional Theory (DFT)
- Analyse the physical movement of molecules using molecular dynamics (MD)
- Use machine learning/deep learning to reduce the computational complexity of atomic structure calculation- predict atomic structures using coarse-grained configurations.
Recordings of this training event are available here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBJMOOBU0RMeaNbpviGJ0ohgHLKKKtc2g
