Antonis Rokas: Incongruence in the Tree of Life

By Antonis Rokas, Department of Biological Sciences, Vanderbilt University, USA The use of genome-scale amounts of data and sophisticated statistical phylogenetic approaches have greatly aided the reconstruction of a broad sketch of the tree of life and resolved many of its branches. However, incongruence—the inference of conflicting evolutionary histories stemming from a multitude of analytical […]

Open Day at HITS

Come and join us for our Open Day at HITS on Saturday, 9 July, from 11am-5pm After four years the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies will open its doors to the public again. Under the overall theme of “Digital Worlds 20.22” the program includes science talks in English and German, presentations and hands-on stations, all […]

Eike Hermann Müller: Efficient fast multipole methods for (kinetic) Monte Carlo simulations of interacting particle systems

By Eike Hermann Müller, Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Bath, UK Including electrostatics in (kinetic) Monte Carlo simulations of interacting particles is challenging due to the long-range nature of the Coulomb potential. As a result, the computational complexity grows rapidly with N, the number of particles in the system. While the Fast Multipole Method […]

Tools for Systems biology modeling and data exchange: COPASI, CellNetAnalyzer, SABIO-RK, FAIRDOMHub/SEEK

Heidelberg Heidelberg, Germany

During this 3-day course, attendees will learn basic techniques for modeling of biochemical networks including data access and storage due to the FAIR principles. The first day introduces principles of stoichiometric and constraint-based modeling coupled with hands on exercises using CellNetAnalyzer. The second day continues with kinetic modeling techniques which will be illustrated and exercised […]

Colloquium Sarbani Basu: Learning physics through astronomy – the Sun and Stars as laboratories

By Sarbani Basu, Department of Astronomy, Yale University, USA We normally rely on physics to interpret and understand astrophysical processes. However, with precise seismic data from the Sun and other stars, we can use astrophysics to inform us about the physical properties of stellar matter, and in some cases inform us even about fundamental physics. […]

FAIRDOM User Meeting

Online

The purpose of the FAIRDOM user meetings is to establish an active FAIRDOM user community to allow networking between various FAIRDOM-SEEK users and learn from each other’s experiences. Within the two-hours event invited users will showcase the use of FAIRDOMHub and other FAIRDOM-SEEK instances for their research projects. After the presentations we’ll have plenty of […]

Colloquium David Dao: Gainforest: Using artificial intelligence to help restore the natural world

By David Dao, GainForest/PhD candidate ETH Zurich, Switzerland Nature has been deteriorating at rates unparalleled in human history and the implications are global. Climate change and biodiversity loss are two bullets in the same gun. Perils we face in parallel, both driven by deforestation and land use change. If global tropical deforestation were a country, […]

HITS-SIMPLAIX joint colloquium Michele Ceriotti: Atomic-scale modeling in the age of machine learning

Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany

By Michele Ceriotti, EPFL STI SMX-GE, Lausanne, Switzerland When modeling materials and molecules at the atomic scale, achieving a realistic level of complexity and making quantitative predictions are usually conflicting goals. Data-driven techniques have made great strides towards enabling simulations of materials in realistic conditions with uncompromising accuracy. In this talk I will summarize the […]
