SUMMARY:[SC2] Launch of 2017 Visualization Challenge + Presentation: Simple Data Management with Signac
DESCRIPTION:Simon Adorf (PhD Candidate\, Chem. Eng.) will give a presentation about “Simple Data Management with Signac“. \nABSTRACT: We will give a brief introduction to the signac data management framework for agile computational workflows\, followed by presenting interactive examples using jupyter notebooks hosted online. The signac framework aids in the management of large and heterogeneous data spaces. It provides a simple and robust data model to create a well-defined indexable storage layout for data and metadata. This makes it easier to operate on large data spaces\, streamlines post-processing and analysis and makes data collectively accessible. \nEveryone is encouraged to bring a laptop in order to be able to follow along. \n+ \nThe Scientific Computing Student Club\, partnered with MICDE\, the U-M 3D Lab and NVIDIA\, will officially launch the 2017 NVIDIA Visualization Challenge aimed for students to use the latest visualization tools and technology to show their research data in creative ways. The first prize will include sponsorship to show their work at the Supercomputing ’17 Visualization Showcase\, and more. Join us at the meeting to learn more. \nSponsored by \n

SUMMARY:MICDE Seminar: Anna Krylov\, Chemistry\, University of Southern California
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Anna Krylov is a Gabilan Distinguished Professor in Science and Engineering\, Chemistry at the University of Southern California. She received her M.Sc. in Chemistry from Moscow State University and later her Ph.D. from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Upon completing her Ph.D. in 1996 (summa cum laude)\, she joined the group of Prof. Martin Head-Gordon at the University of California\, Berkeley as a postdoctoral research associate\, where she first became involved with electronic structure method development. In 1998\, she joined Department of Chemistry at USC. Currently\, Prof. Krylov leads a research group focused on theoretical modeling of open shell and electronically excited species. She is the head of the Center for Computational Studies of Electronic Structure and Spectroscopy of Open-Shell and Electronically Excited Species\, iOpenShell\, supported by the National Science Foundation (2005–2011) and the University of Southern California. She is developing robust black-box methods aiming to describe complicated multi-configurational wave functions in a single-reference formalism\, such as coupled-cluster and equation-of-motion (or linear response) approaches. She has developed the spin-flip approach\, which extends coupled-cluster and density functional methods to diradicals\, triradicals\, and bond-breaking. Using computational chemistry tools\, and in collaboration with numerous experimental groups\, Krylov is also investigating the role that radicals and electronically excited species play in such diverse areas as combustion\, gas- and condensed-phase chemistry\, solar energy applications\, bioimaging\, and ionization-induced processes in biology. She has co-authored more than 120 publications and has delivered more than 130 invited lectures. (Source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Krylov) \nFission of entangled spins: Electronic structure perspective\nSinglet fission (SF)\, a process in which one singlet excited state is converted into two triplet states\, is of interest in the context of organic photovoltaic technology. Owing to its technological significance\, the mechanism of SF has been vigorously investigated. Yet\, the design principles for materials capable of efficient SF remain elusive. The main challenge faced by theory is a complex and intricate electronic structure of the process\, which involves non-adiabatic transitions between strongly correlated states. This lecture will discuss electronic structure of the relevant states\, the nature of non-adiabatic couplings\, and the connection between electronic factors and rates\, emphasizing the methodological aspects of the problem. The utility of theory will be illustrated by examples. Recent experimental and theoretical studies of SF in covalently linked tetracene dimers shed light on the effect of the linkers on the electronic factors and SF rates\, illuminating the role of through-space and through-bond interactions between the chromophores. The results highlight the importance of integrative approaches that evaluate the overall rate\, rather than focus on specific electronic factors\, such as energies or couplings.

SUMMARY:MICDE Seminar: Steven White\, Physics & Astronomy\, University of California Irvine
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Steven White did his bachelor’s degree at the University of California in San Diego and received his Ph.D. from Cornell University. Early in his career he was awarded a National Science Foundation fellowship\, and an IBM postdoctoral fellowship. He’s been named an American Physical Society fellow\, and a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science\, and of the American Academy of Arts and Science\, among others. Professor White is most known for inventing the Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG)\, a numerical variation technique for high accuracy calculations of the low energy physics of quantum many-body systems. In 2003 he won the American Physical Society Aneesur Rahman prize\, a recognition of outstanding achievement in computational physics research “…for his development\, application\, and dissemination of the DMRG method”. He has published over one hundred and seventy papers on this and related subjects. \nTensor Network methods for Electronic Structure\nOur conventional picture of wave functions living in an exponentially large Hilbert space is both impractical for solving many particle systems and conceptually lacking: in recent years we have come to understand that physical states of matter live in an infinitesimal corner of Hilbert space\, characterized primarily by low entanglement. Tensor networks are the natural language to express low entanglement wave functions\, giving an exponentially compressed description of ground states. The density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) and other tensor network algorithms have had tremendous success in simulating quantum lattice models.The key challenge in translating these methods to electronic structure is the need to represent continuum space in an efficient way. After an introduction to tensor networks\, I’ll present a new DMRG-based approach suitable for the electronic structure of long molecules. Our sliced-basis DMRG method produces near-exact ground states within its basis\, and has a computation time which is linear in the length of the molecule. We are implementing SBDMRG for chains of hydrogen atoms\, where we have been able to simulate up to 1000 atoms in a minimal basis. \nProf. White is being hosted by Prof. Emanuel Gull (Chemistry)

SUMMARY:Carol Flannagan\, PhD\, University of Michigan - MIDAS Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Carol A. C. Flannagan\, PhD\nResearch Associate Professor\nUniversity of Michigan Transportation Research Institute\nUniversity of Michigan\nBio: Carol A. C. Flannagan is a research associate professor in UMTRI’s Biosciences Group\, and director of CMISST. She joined UMTRI in 1991 after completing her Ph.D. in mathematical and experimental psychology at the University of Michigan (U-M). She also holds an M.A. in applied statistics from U-M and a B.A. in psychology from St. Lawrence University. \nDr. Flannagan has over 20 years of experience conducting data analysis and research on injury risk related to motor vehicle crashes and was responsible for the development of a model of injury outcome that allows side-by-side comparison of public health\, vehicle\, roadway and post-crash interventions. She has also applied statistical methods to understanding of the potential benefits of crash-avoidance technologies\, and works to develop novel applications of statistics to improve understanding of transporation safety. Dr. Flannagan’s current work with CMISST involves the fusion and analysis of large state-level crash databases\, which are useful in analyzing the effect of a variety of countermeasures on crash involvement and injury risk. In addition\, her group is working to make data available to researchers to expand the community of experts in transportation data analysis. \nFor more information on MIDAS or the Seminar Series\, please contact midas-contact@umich.edu.
