This fall, my labmates and I ana the Haji-Akbari lab in the department of Chemical & Environmental Engineering founded the Computational Molecular Sciences & Engineering symposium at @Yale . More about the event✨ The event gathered over 70 registered faculty, researchers and graduate and undergraduate students from multiple departments at Yale in a recent effort to build a community on campus for computational and theoretical research. The first faculty keynote address was given by Professor Victor Batista, the John Gamble Kirkwood Professor of Chemistry, titled "Simulating Molecular Systems on Hybrid Qubit-Qumode Bosonic Devices." The talk emphasized the collaborative efforts between Batista's group and researchers from Schoelkopf, Devoret and Girvin's groups in Yale's Applied Physics to run quantum mechanical calculations on quantum devices. The second faculty address was given by Professor Corey O'Hern, from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Physics and Applied Physics focusing on a new computational model developed by his group to score protein-protein interaction interfaces in protein heterodimers. Graduate student speakers included Christian Venturella (Chemistry, Zhu Group), Hoayu Liu (Mechanical Engineering, Pahlavan Group), and David Silva (Applied & Computational Math, Lederman Group). Their talks ranged from quantum mechanical calculations, to computational fluid dynamics and cryoEM image optimization from simulations and statistical modeling. The full list of speakers and their bios can be found at the CMSE website (https:// loom.ly/jsoEjk4). The symposium also showcased a talk from Dr. Aya Nawano, a research specialist from Yale Center for Research Computing on using Al for advancing scientific computing, Yale's recent advancements in High Performance Computing and accelerating parallel workflows in Yale's HPC clusters. The symposium was supported by the Dean's Fund for Colloquia & Symposia at the Yale Graduate School. #yaleuniversity #engineering #science #research
