PICS Colloquium

On Friday, September 17 PICS will host a colloquium featuring Gregory Bowman, Associate Professor Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics at Washington University in St. Louis. Title: Protein dynamics and energy landscape engineering Abstract: Experiments only reveal a few of a protein’s structures with the atomic detail required to rationally engineer mutations and drugs. However, a protein […]

On Friday, September 24 at 2:00 PICS is hosting a virtual colloquium with Julia Koehler Leman, Research Scientist, Systems Biology, CCB, Flatiron Institute.   Title: How reproducible is your research? Abstract: Each year vast international resources are wasted on irreproducible research. The scientific community has been slow to adopt standard software engineering practices, despite the […]

On Friday, October 29 at 2:00 PICS is hosting a colloquium with Professor Adrián Lozano-Durán, Draper Assistant Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT. Title: A model for external aerodynamics based on building-block flows Abstract: A wall model for large-eddy simulation is proposed by devising the flow as a collection of building blocks, whose information […]

On Friday, November 5th at 2:00 PICS will host a colloquium featuring Pratyush Tiwary, Assistant Professor, University of Maryland. Title: From atoms to emergent mechanisms with information bottleneck and diffusion probabilistic models Abstract: The ability to rapidly learn from high-dimensional data to make reliable predictions about the future is crucial in many contexts. This could be […]

On Friday, November 12 at 2:00pm PICS is hosting a colloquium with Jeetain Mittal, Professor of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University. Title: Molecular organization in biology: What can computer simulations teach us? Abstract: The formation of membraneless organelles (MLOs) via phase separation of proteins and nucleic acids has emerged as an essential process with […]
