SUMMARY:Special seminar by Prof. Alexandre Tkatchenko
DESCRIPTION:Save the date! OCAMM presents a special seminar by Prof. Alexandre Tkatchenko from the University of Luxembourg\, who will talk about the role of AI in accelerating molecular simulations. This invited seminar will take place at the Department of Chemistry and Materials Science\, Aalto University on 21 January 2025 @ 10:00 in lecture hall A304 (Ke2) at the main building of the School of Chemical Engineering in the Otaniemi campus\, Kemistintie 1\, 02150 Espoo. The seminar is open to all. Please join us in Otaniemi to find out how AI can be leveraged to speed up quantum mechanical simulations of atoms and molecules! \nTitle \nRealizing Schrödinger’s dream with AI-enabled molecular simulations \nAbout the speaker \nAlexandre Tkatchenko is a professor at the Department of Physics and Materials Science (and head of this department since January 2020) at the University of Luxembourg\, where he holds a chair in Theoretical Chemical Physics composed of ~35 multidisciplinary scientists. Tkatchenko also holds a distinguished visiting professor position at the Technical University of Berlin. His group develops accurate and efficient first-principles computational and artificial intelligence models to study a wide range of complex materials\, aiming at qualitative understanding and quantitative prediction of their structural\, cohesive\, electronic\, and optical properties at the atomic scale and beyond. He has delivered more than 450 invited talks\, seminars\, and colloquia worldwide\, published 240 articles in prestigious journals (h-index of 89 with more than 45\,000 citations; Top 1% ISI highly cited researcher since 2018 until now)\, and serves on the editorial boards of four society journals: Science Advances (AAAS)\, Physical Review Letters (APS)\, Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters (ACS)\, and Chemical Science (RSC). Tkatchenko has received a number of awards\, including APS Fellow from the American Physical Society\, Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry\, Gerhard Ertl Young Investigator Award of the German Physical Society\, Dirac Medal from the World Association of Theoretical and Computational Chemists (WATOC)\, van der Waals prize from ICNI\, Feynman Prize for Nanotechnology from the Foresight Institute\, and five flagship grants from the European Research Council (ERC): a Starting Grant in 2011\, a Consolidator Grant in 2017\, an Advanced Grant in 2022\, and Proof-of-Concept Grants in 2020 and 2023. He is also a co-founder of Quastify GmbH – a start-up that combines quantum and statistical mechanics with machine learning for efficiently exploring chemical spaces.
