Title: Development and application of automatic force field parameterization software for molecular simulationSpeaker: Dr. Lee-Ping WangAffiliation: Stanford UniversityLocation: Room 218Time: 2:00pmAbstract. Force fields are empirical potential energy functions that describe molecules and their interactions; they constitute the physical foundation for simulations of atomic and molecular motion. The accuracy of a force field is determined by... Read more »

Title: Robust Dynamic Risk MeasuresSpeaker: Dimitra BampouAffiliation: Imperial College LondonLocation: Room 218 Huxley Building Time: 3:00pmAbstract. Recent progress in the theory of dynamic risk measures has found a strong echo in stochastic programming, where the time consistency of dynamic decision making under uncertainty is currently under scrutiny. In this talk we first review the concepts... Read more »
