Calendar of Physics Talks Vienna
| ESI Medal 2025 Award Ceremony |
| Speaker: | Georg Kresse, Mariana Rossi, Giuseppe Foffi, Michele Parrinello (U of Vienna, MPI Hamburg, U of Paris-Saclay, ETH Zurich and Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia in Genova) |
| Abstract: | Prof. Michele Parrinello (ETH Zurich and Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia in Genova) is honored for his seminal contributions to computational science, particularly through the development of groundbreaking algorithms that have opened new frontiers in soft matter, biological, and condensed matter physics, as well as for applying these methods to solve important open problems. Among his most recent achievements are the advancement of metadynamics sampling techniques, which have revolutionized the study of complex free-energy landscapes — including those associated with protein conformational changes — and the pioneering integration of machine learning with molecular dynamics, a transformative leap that is redefining the frontiers of numerical simulations. He is also recognized for his efforts in promoting promoting transparency and reproducibility in computational science. |
