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.
This workshop aims at discussing and devising new and unifying concepts to calculate and understand molecular stresses in complex materials. Such molecular stresses can stem from quantum chemical calculations, atomistic or coarse-grained Molecular Dynamics simulations. They could be inherent to the system, i.e. reflect intrinsic tension or pre-stress, or build up upon applying external mechanical […]
"A New Science is Born: Astronomy in the Era of AI" - the pub talk by HITS researcher Antonio D'Isanto from the Astroinformatics (AIN) group. The event is held in O’Reilly’s Irish Pub on Brückenkopfstraße (just across the river from Bismarckplatz). Entrance is free! "Astronomy on Tap" is a series of monthly astronomy events […]
By Keith A. Crandall, PhD, Professor ob Biostatistics & Bioinformatics, Director - Computational Biology Institute, Milken Institute School of Public Health, George Washington University, Washington, DC, USA Microbiome characterization has become an integral component to the study of a wide variety of disease and health for a diversity of organisms. Through the collection of […]
“Can crowdsourcing be replaced by machine learning” – the pub talk by HITS researcher Erica Hopkins from the Astroinformatics (AIN) group. The event is held in O’Reilly’s Irish Pub on Brückenkopfstraße (just across the river from Bismarckplatz). Entrance is free! “Astronomy on Tap” is a series of monthly astronomy events held in Heidelberg. Each event […]
By Erik Lindahl, Stockholms universitet, Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, Stockholm, Sweden Ligand-gated ion channels control the electrical excitation of nerve cells, in particular in the post-synaptic membrane in response to chemical signals mediated by neurotransmitters. These receptors exhibit an amazing diversity in detailed structure and function - some human channels have 15-20 slightly genes, […]
By Prof. Dr. Corinna Hoose, Institute of Meteorology and Climate Research, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology Deep convective clouds and the resulting heavy precipitation, hail, lightning and wind gusts can cause severe damage. Their forecasting with current numerical weather prediction models is a challenge, both because of limitations on spatial resolution and because of the low […]
By Wolfgang Maier, Director HW Development, IBM R&D - Systems & Technology Group, Böblingen The ongoing digitization of todays world is essentially based on Shannon's theory of Information and its implementation by means of semiconductor cicuitry, which is characterized by Moore's law. The principal concept of this approach is to represent information by bits, which […]
Prof. Dr. Robert C. Williamson, Australian National University, Research School of Computer Science, Australia With the rapid growth of AI and its deployment with consequences to people, ethical concerns regarding AI have become extremely topical. In this talk I will present a view somewhat contrary relative to much of the current literature. After briefly […]
Prof. Dr. Jens Meiler, Vanderbilt University, Informatics Center for Structural Biology, USA Curriculum vitae: Jens Meiler studied Chemistry Leipzig University in Germany before he obtained his PhD working in the laboratory of Christian Griesinger at the Goethe University in Frankfurt developing new computational methods for biomolecular NMR spectroscopy. In 2001 he moved to […]
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 […]
