This summer’s Lab Book Club is designed to provide a thorough review of fundamental concepts for understanding biomolecular simulation and, in particular,molecular dynamics simulations (MD). The material is primarily based on chapters from Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Molecular Simulation by Mark Tuckerman.
The course will teach you the theoretical background on how to simulate systems at the atomic scale (e.g. using molecular dynamics), you will learn to program some of the fundamental algorithms, and you will be using state-of-the art software to run simulations of problems in areas of active research. The focus is on bio/nanophysics but there’s room to accommodate individual interests. The course will be half lecture, half hands-on work in a computer lab.
Note that this course is currently not scheduled. It ran the last time in Spring 2013.
Sean was a Ph.D. student in physics working on computational methods for sampling and quantifying macromolecular conformational transitions. He graduated in 2017.
