Computer modelling for industrial applications: high-performance computing for formulation science

The event was recorded and is available here.

In order to provide the broad EPFL community with an opportunity to meet leading figures in domains in close proximity with the development and application of molecular and materials simulations, MARVEL and CECAM organize the CECAM/MARVEL Mary Ann Mansigh conversation series. In this series, the guest engages in a conversation to describe his or her expertise, approaches to research, and career paths in this area from a perspective not usually encountered in "standard" scientific presentations. 

For this first event, Massimo Noro will talk about his research at Unilever on self-assembling fluids, and about his work for the STFC Hartree Centre (UK) which helps companies translate scientific research into commercial products. The lecture will be followed by an interview with Prof. William Curtin (EPFL)about the relevance of simulation for industry and his role as the leader of an important computing facility that interacts directly with industry.
