Colloquium Volker Springel: Interfacing galaxy formation with precision cosmology

Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany

By Volker Springel, Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics, Garching, Germany HITS Fellow 2018   Numerical simulations of cosmic structure formation have become a powerful tool in astrophysics. Starting right after the Big Bang, they predict the dark matter backbone of the cosmic web far into the non-linear regime and follow complex galaxy formation physics with […]

Open Day at HITS

Come and join us for our Open Day at HITS on Saturday, 13 July, from 11am-5pm The Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies will open its doors to the public again. The program includes science talks in English and German, presentations and hands-on stations, all showcasing the research of the Institute. One of the highlights this […]

HITS Colloquium Guillermo Cabrera-Vives: Machine Learning & Astronomy: Unique Challenges for a Unique Field

Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany

By Guillermo Cabrera-Vives, Department of Computer Science, Universidad de Concepción,  Chile Currently Klaus Tschira Guest Professor at HITS   Astronomy, like many other fields, is experiencing an explosion of data, with vast amounts of information pouring in from the universe. This influx has driven the development of new machine learning (ML) tools, enabling new discoveries […]

HITS-SIMPLAIX Joint Colloquium Markus Meuwly: Computational Protein Dynamics in the Era of Machine-Learned Atomistic Simulations

Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany

  By Markus Meuwly, Department of Chemistry, University of Basel, Switzerland   Machine Learning-based techniques have the potential to fundamentally change how we approach characterizing and understanding chemical and biological materials. It is anticipated that ML applied to protein dynamics allows to carry out atomistic simulations on functionally relevant time scales using models approaching chemical […]

HITS-SIMPLAIX Joint Colloquium Simon Olsson: How Can Generative AI Help Understand the Physics of Molecules?

Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany

  By Simon Olsson, Chalmers University of Technology, Department for Computer Science and Engineering, Section for Data Science and AI, Sweden Generative AI, including large language models and image generation technologies, is influencing society and industry broadly. Current, Generative AI methods are machine learned models. These models learn statistical distributions similar to those broadly used […]

HITS-SIMPLAIX Joint Colloquium Cecilia Clementi: Modeling Protein Dynamics with Machine Learning and Molecular Simulation

Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany

  By Cecilia Clementi, Einstein Professor Freie Universität Berlin, Department of Physics, Berlin, Germany The last years have seen an immense increase in high-throughput and high-resolution technologies for experimental observation as well as high-performance techniques to simulate molecular systems at a microscopic level, resulting in vast and ever-increasing amounts of high-dimensional data. However, experiments provide […]
