Multi-scale Molecular Dynamics Simulation and Machine Learning of Biomolecular Systems

Aug.9 (Wed)-10(Thu), 2023, RIKEN

Aim

Understanding the relationship between function and structure of biomolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids requires not only simulations by molecular dynamics, but also a deep understanding of various physical chemical theories such as solution theory and molecular vibrational theory, as well as information science such as machine learning and Bayesian statistics. In this workshop, experts in these fields are invited to give lectures to discuss state-of-the-art techniques/results and to understand their interrelationships. In addition, experts are invited from one of the Programs for Promoting Research on the Supercomputer “Fugaku” to discuss the cutting-edge computational science research.

Venue
