• PICS Colloquium with Grace Gu: AI-enabled design and manufacturing for multifunctional aerospace systems

    Penn Institute for Computational Science 3401 Walnut Street, 5th Floor, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Abstract: Future aerospace platforms, from aerial systems and spacecraft, need to meet rising demands for acoustic and electromagnetic interference (EMI) mitigation, operation in harsh environments, and payload maximization, all while reducing mass. In this talk, we will discuss our work addressing some of these challenges by uniting biological design principles with machine intelligence to create […]

  • PICS Colloquium with Omar Valsson: From Stability to Dissociation: Elucidating Unbinding Kinetics of Protein-Protein Complexes via Atomistic Simulations

    Penn Institute for Computational Science 3401 Walnut Street, 5th Floor, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Abstract: Protein-protein interactions (PPI) are ubiquitous in biological processes. Their study has significant implications for drug discovery as PPIs are important pharmacological targets for small molecules and important in various therapeutic modalities, such as targeted protein degradation and antibodies. Therefore, understanding the stability and dissociation of protein-protein complexes is of great fundamental and practical interest. […]
