[Thermodynamic Integration] (Lecture / Hands on) - QM/MM coupled potential simulations (Lecture)
- GPU accelerated MD (Lecture)
Attendees
Attendees consist of Graduate students and postdocs as well as few
faculty members interested in learning about Molecular Dynamics
techniques.
The number is limited by the availability of hardware for the hands-on
tutorials.
These require each student to have access to a desktop running Linux.
Student number is limited to 40.
Registration
Given the limited number of seats you will be requested to fill a
