Past events

Wednesday March 8, 2017, 4:15 pm, EPFL MXF-1,  Prof. Markus Reiher (ETH Zurich), Interactive and Automated Exploration of Reaction Mechanisms

This meeting with both MARVEL and MaX members aims to encourage collaborations and to discuss about integration of workflows, plugins and curated data within AiiDA and Materials cloud. Furthermore, during the event an advanced AiiDA tutorial for experienced AiiDA users will be held. The event will be recorded and videos uploaded to the MaterialsCloud YouTube channel.

This MARVEL school will cover the use of variationally enhanced sampling for obtaining free energies and kinetic rates both from classical and ab initio molecular dynamics. Other methods such as metadynamics will also be covered. Focus will be made on the use of these methods for applications related to materials science. The school will include hands-on tutorials using PLUMED 2 with various molecular dynamics codes.
