Joint Applied Physics & Applied Mathematics / Materials Science & Engineering Colloquium Payel Das, Ph.D. Research Staff Scientist Neuroeducation and Cognitive Classroom Lead, Learning Sciences and Cognitive Computing Department IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center Title: Multi-scale modeling and data-driven approaches for soft matter characterization Abstract: Multi-scale molecular modeling and data-driven methods are becoming indispensable tools for designing and characterizing soft matter systems, such as proteins, nucleic acids, polymers, and surfactants. In this talk, I will discuss molecular simulations at different resolution, which explain critical role of solvation in determining the structure and assembly of proteins and polymers. I will also talk about how machine learning techniques are becoming increasingly useful in understanding the complex structure-function relationship of soft materials. Host: Prof. I.C. Noyan
