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 […]
On Saturday, November 13 PICS will host a workshop on CUDA: The NVIDIA® CUDA® Toolkit provides a development environment for creating high performance GPU-accelerated applications. With the CUDA Toolkit, you can develop, optimize, and deploy your applications on GPU-accelerated embedded systems, desktop workstations, enterprise data centers, cloud-based platforms and HPC supercomputers. The toolkit includes GPU-accelerated […]
