HITS organizes scientific events throughout the year. Each month, HITS hosts its colloquium series. If you like to receive an invitation, please use this registration form: https://www.h-its.org/registration/
Our research groups offer scientific workshops. Additionally, HITS offers talks and events for the general public in Heidelberg and surroundings.
By Philipp Podsiadlowski, Stellar Astrophysics, University of Oxford, UK While the basic evolution of stars has been understood for many decades, there are still major uncertainties in our theoretical understanding of how stars end their lives, both in the context of low- and intermediate-mass stars (including the Sun) and massive stars. After reviewing some […]
By Norman Schumann, Klima vor acht e.V. It's hard to imagine that the world is coming to an end, and nobody's talking about it. Unfortunately, this happens every day in the German media, or, to put it differently, the issue is not being addressed. After more than thirty years since the establishment of the […]
By Olexandr Isayev, Carnegie Mellon University, Department of Chemistry, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Deep learning is revolutionizing many areas of science and technology, particularly in natural language processing, speech recognition, and computer vision. In this talk, we will provide an overview of the latest developments of machine learning and AI methods and their application to […]
Public Talk by Anil Ananthaswamy, HITS Journalist in Residence 2023 in collaboration with the Heidelberg Laureate Forum Foundation There are anecdotal reports of cab drivers asking their passengers: “Have you heard of ChatGPT?” This cultural phenomenon is indicative of an inflection point in the development of a form of artificial intelligence (AI) called the large […]
The “Math colloquium” is a special event in honor of former HITS group leader and alumna Anna Wienhard (Groups and Geometry group), who took up her new position as Director of the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in November 2022. The distinguished speakers at the colloquium are: Steve Trettel, University of San […]
By Rafal Weron, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Poland Although electricity price forecasting aims at predicting both spot and forward prices, the vast majority of research is focused on short-term horizons which exhibit dynamics unlike in any other market. The reason is that power system stability calls for a constant balance between production and […]
By Fernanda Duarte, Department of Chemistry, University of Oxford, UK Efficiently and accurately modelling chemical reactions in the condensed phase stands as one of the ‘grand challenges’ in computational chemistry. Although characterizing reaction energy pathways has become routine, the exploration of intricate reaction mechanisms remains a time-consuming and non-systematic endeavour, even for experienced computational […]
By Volker Deringer, Department of Chemistry, University of Oxford, UK Machine learning (ML) based interatomic potential models are increasingly popular simulation tools for molecular and materials systems and hold promise for use on exascale supercomputers . ML potentials are fitted to large sets of quantum-mechanical reference data, and therefore developing high-quality datasets and automated […]
By Laura Maria Sangalli, MOX - Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Recent years have seen an explosive growth in the recording of increasingly complex and high-dimensional data, whose analysis calls for the definition of new methods, merging ideas and approaches from statistics and applied mathematics. My talk will focus on spatial […]
By Meik Bittkowski, Science Media Center Germany, Cologne One way to augment (not replace) science journalism is to provide technological support for journalistic work processes, from monitoring and research to the production of new content. The Science Media Center Germany, founded in 2015, had its own R&D lab right from the start to […]
