by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Alán Aspuru-Guzik | Assistant Professor Harvard University | Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology 12 Oxford Street, Room M113 | Cambridge, MA 02138 (617)-384-8188 | http://aspuru.chem.harvard.edu ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: PSI-K <psik-coord(a)dl.ac.uk> Date: Thu, Feb 18, 2010 at 10:54 AM Subject: [ PSI-K ] Cecam Tutorial: Computational spectroscopy using Quantum Espresso and related codes To: PSI-K <psik-coord(a)dl.ac.uk> An announcement has been added in the "PSI-K" site at PSI-K ( http://cselnx9.dl.ac.uk:8080/portal) Subject: Cecam Tutorial: Computational spectroscopy using Quantum Espresso and related codes Category: Event From: Paolo Umari Date: 18-Feb-2010 15:54 Message: Dear Colleagues, We would like to draw your attention to the upcoming CECAM Tutorial "Computational spectroscopy using Quantum Espresso and related codes", to be held in SISSA, Trieste, Italy, July 26-30, 2010. With this tutorial, we want to give the basis for the simulation of spectra in complex molecular and nanostructured systems using approaches based on density functional theory, including "beyond-DFT" methods such as time-dependent DFT and many-body perturbation theory, implemented on a pseudo-potential plane-waves basis framework. We will focus on a comprehensive set of probes. The preliminary program of the tutorial is: Day 1 - July, 26th 2010 Vibrational spectroscopies: neutron, infrared, Raman Day 2 - July, 27th 2010 Magnetic resonance spectroscopies: NMR and EPR Day 3 - July, 28th 2010 Core electrons spectroscopies: XPS and XAS Day 4 - July, 29th 2010 Electron spectroscopies: direct and inverse photo-emission Day 5 - July, 30th 2010 Optical spectroscopies: light absorption As the final goal of theoretical spectroscopy is the comparison with the corresponding experimental results, we will also provide a brief introduction from the experimental point of view. As the possibility of performing such calculations in large model structures has been due to the introduction of new algorithms, we will also focus on the recent advances in electronic structure techniques. For the practical sessions, we will mainly use the packages of the Quantum-Espresso distribution. We plan to cover the accommodation expenses of all the participants. Applications should be submitted online at: http://www.cecam.org/workshop-483.html before *May 1st 2010*. Decisions about acceptance will be communicated shortly thereafter. Greetings, P. Umari, D. Ceresoli and D. Prendergast ---------------------- This automatic notification message was sent by PSI-K ( http://cselnx9.dl.ac.uk:8080/portal) from the PSI-K site.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] [iic-colloquium] IIC Colloquium Feb. 24: Machine Learning and Statistics on Massive Datasets, with Applications in Astronomy

by Rosalind Reid

You are cordially invited to the next IIC Colloquium Wednesday, Feb. 24: ************************ Machine Learning and Statistics on Massive Datasets, with Applications in Astronomy Feb. 24, 2010, 4:00 pm Room G115, Maxwell Dworkin, 33 Oxford Street, Cambridge Alexander Gray Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science Computational Science and Engineering Division College of Computing Georgia Institute of Technology **Note: This colloquium was postponed from Feb. 10. Bruce Boghosian's colloquium has been rescheduled for April 7.** Abstract I’ll describe algorithms and data structures for allowing the most powerful machine learning and multivariate statistical methods, which often scale quadratically or even cubically with the number of data points, to be performed many orders of magnitude faster than naive implementations. Such techniques can make previously impossible statistical analyses tractable on the scale of entire astronomical sky surveys. I will discuss scalable algorithms we have developed for n- point correlations, friends-of-friends, nearest-neighbors, kernel density estimation, nonparametric Bayes classification, principal component analysis, local linear regression, isometric non-negative matrix factorization, hidden Markov models, k-means, support vector machine-like classifiers, Gaussian process regression, and Gaussian graphical model inference, among others. In addition to techniques inspired by computational geometry, fast multipole methods, and Monte Carlo integration, we employ a distributed framework which can be thought of as a higher-order version of Google’s MapReduce. Our algorithms have enabled several first-of-a-kind large-scale cosmological analyses. Bio Alexander Gray received bachelor's degrees in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science from UC Berkeley and a PhD in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University, and worked in the Machine Learning Systems Group of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory for 6 years. He currently directs the FASTlab (Fundamental Algorithmic and Statistical Tools Laboratory, http://www.fast-lab.org/) at Georgia Tech, consisting of 25 people including 14 PhD students, which works on the problem of how to perform machine learning/data mining/statistics on massive datasets, and related problems in scientific computing and applied mathematics. Employing a multi-disciplinary array of technical ideas (from machine learning, nonparametric statistics, convex optimization, linear algebra, discrete algorithms and data structures, computational geometry, computational physics, Monte Carlo methods, distributed computing, and automated theorem proving), the lab has developed the current fastest algorithms for several fundamental statistical methods, and also develops new machine learning methods for difficult aspects of real-world data, such as in astrophysics and biology. This work has enabled high-profile scientific results which have been featured in Science and Nature and has earned an NSF CAREER award, two best paper awards, and two best paper award nominations. He has given tutorials for the field and invited talks on efficient algorithms for machine learning at venues including ICML, NIPS and SIAM Data Mining, as well as in applied mathematics and astronomy. --------------- Refreshments will be served at 3:45 pm.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] ANNOUNCEMENT: March 2, 2010 - Prof. René Janssen - Excitonics Seminar

by rtavilla＠rle.mit.edu

Center for Excitonics Seminar Series Announcement The Center for Excitonics is an Energy Frontier Research Center funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science and Office of Basic Energy Sciences The Center for Excitonics invites you to join us at the next seminar of the Spring 2010 series. Please forward this information on to others who might be interested in attending this and other center seminars. Title: Polymer Solar Cells: New Materials, 3D Morphology, and Tandem Devices Presenter: René Janssen Organization: Molecular Materials and Nanosystems, Eindhoven University of Technology Date: March 2, 2010 Time: 3:00 - 4:00pm Place: Haus Room 36-428 Center URL: www.rle.mit.edu/excitonics Seminar URL: www.rle.mit.edu/excitonics/janssen-030210.html Abstract Polymer solar cells offer an opportunity for low-cost, large area renewable energy production. These devices use a phase separated blend of two organic semiconductors with energy levels that lead to intermolecular charge transfer after photoexcitation. The power conversion efficiency of polymer solar cells depends on the quantum and energy efficiency by which photons from the sun are absorbed and can be converted into current in an external circuit. To be efficient, absorption of light as well as charge generation, transport and collection all have to occur with high quantum efficiency and with minimal losses in energy. Presently, the best polymer solar cells reach power conversion efficiencies over 7% in solar light. The lecture will address three recent advances in this field. Design strategies and synthesis of new conjugated polymers for efficient (>5%) solar cells will be shown. The new materials are characterized by an extended optical absorption and feature high, balanced mobilities for charges. The materials have an appreciable tendency to aggregate and can be processed together with C60 and C70 derivatives into efficient single layer solar cells, depending on molecular weight and processing conditions. Prospects for further enhancement will be discussed. An important aspect of polymers solar cells is the nanoscale morphology of the active layer. High resolution three-dimensional electron tomography provides unprecedented insights into the actual heterojunctions present in hybrid polymer:metal oxide solar cells. The nanoscale morphology can be related to the device performance via exciton diffusion and exciton quenching, and the presence of suitable continuous percolation pathways for photogenerated charge carriers to reach the respective electrodes in both phases. The data provide a unique new insight in the operation of bulk heterojunction devices and provides directions to further improvements. By conserving a larger fraction of the incident photon energy, tandem solar cells form a promising strategy to further increase the power conversion efficiency of organic photovoltaics beyond the limits of single junctions. The performance of tandem cells can be accurately predicted by combining the characteristics of representative single junction cells and allows establishing the optimal device layout. Using this strategy a solution processed polymer tandem cell with an efficiency of 4.9% under AM1.5G conditions has been obtained, higher than the efficiency that can be reached with the individual materials for optimized solar cells. Bio René Janssen is full professor in chemistry and physics at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) since 2000. He received his Ph.D. in 1987 from the TU/e for a thesis on electron spin resonance and quantum chemical calculations of organic radicals in single crystals. He was lecturer at the TU/e since 1984, and a senior lecturer in physical organic chemistry since 1991. In 1993 and 1994 he joined the group of Professor Alan J. Heeger (Nobel laureate in 2000) at the University of California Santa Barbara as associate researcher to work on the photophysical properties of conjugated polymers. René Janssen has been visiting professor at the University of Angers in France from 2000-2006 and was Tarrant Lecturer at the University of Florida in 2009. The research of his group focuses on functional-conjugated molecules, macromolecules, nanostructures, and materials that may find application in advanced technological applications. Synthetic organic and polymer chemistry are combined with advanced time-resolved optical spectroscopy, electrochemistry, morphological characterization and the preparation of prototype devices to accomplish these goals. In recent years many of the activities have concentrated on organic and polymer solar cells. He has co-authored more than 330 scientific papers in this field and has supervised 30 PhD students. Teaching activities at the TU/e involve various courses in Bachelor, Master, and graduate levels on subjects like chemical bonding, molecular spectroscopy and photophysics, organic electronics, and solar cells. In 1999 René Janssen received the ‘Pionieer’ award from the Chemistry Science Branch of the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research and in 2000 he was co-recipient of the René Descartes Prize from the European Commission for outstanding collaborative research. René Janssen currently serves as editor of “Organic Electronics” and is member of the editorial boards of Advanced Functional Materials, Journal of Materials Chemistry, and Advanced Energy Materials.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Group meeting.

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear group, I won't be able to make it to group meeting today. I apologize. I have a medical appointment exactly at that time. Some of you saw me yesterday, my ears are fully plugged up since I landed yesterday! and if I did not see a doctor today, the next appt would be Tuesday. I suggest to go ahead with the meeting. You will hear from Sarah about quantum simulation using gold and electrons in liquid helium: What is interesting there is that the nanofab abilities of Ken Crozier could potentially allow to build one of these simulators. Ville is also giving another meeting that is also of a lot of interest to the lab: He has been quietly hacking away at a powerful toolkit for quantum information processing and simulation of open systems that is very versatile and powerful. He is going to give a demo about it. I think many of the people that are planning to do simulations might consider using/extending this tool. I will probably ask Ville to give me a recap later. If you need anything, I will be working from home today. Just e-mail me or chat me. PS. I might be able to run back for the second part. We'll see how the doctor appointment at Boston goes :& Alan Alán Aspuru-Guzik | Assistant Professor Harvard University | Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology 12 Oxford Street, Room M113 | Cambridge, MA 02138 (617)-384-8188 | http://aspuru.chem.harvard.edu

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] SciGPU seminar: Mon Feb 22

by Mark A. Watson

You are cordially invited to the next SciGPU seminar at Harvard: Unraveling the Mysteries of Quarks with GPUs Monday, February 22, 2010, 12 noon Maxwell Dworkin, 33 Oxford Street, Cambridge, Room 323 Pizza will be served at 11:45 am Speaker: Ron Babich, Postdoctoral Fellow, Center for Computational Science, Boston University Abstract Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (Lattice QCD) is a framework for calculating the properties of fundamental particles made up of quarks and gluons. It is also a "grand challenge" subject, profitably employing a significant fraction of the cycles at many of the world’s largest computing centers. In this talk, I will discuss the ways in which graphics processing units (GPUs) and related architectures are promising to revolutionize the way many lattice calculations are performed. In particular, I will discuss "QUDA," a library of linear solvers tailored for QCD and written using NVIDIA’s "C for CUDA" API. I will describe the strategies we employed to obtain high performance on a single GPU and the challenges we face as we build on this foundation to use many GPUs in parallel. Bio Ron Babich's research focuses on fundamental questions in particle physics, which he addresses using the tools of high performance computing. Ron received his Ph.D. in Physics from Boston University in 2009 and has accumulated significant experience developing optimized codes on a range of platforms, from commodity clusters to tightly coupled machines such as the IBM Blue Gene series and emerging architectures such as graphics processing units. His interests also extend to the practical problem of configuring cost-effective and scalable systems that couple the power of GPUs with high-speed interconnects.
