Dear All,
Michigan State University's Prof. Marcos Dantus will be visiting hosted by
Alan on Friday, October 6th. *If you'd like to meet with him and/or attend
lunch with him, let me know by COB Friday, September 22nd*. *His talk will
take place at 4 PM in Pierce 209 and everyone is encouraged to attend.*
His talk's title and abstract are below.
*Towards a deep-learning approach to molecular dynamics*
*Marcos Dantus*
*Department of Chemistry, and Department of Physics and Astronomy, *
*Michigan State University, East Lansing MI 48824*
Deep learning—the combination of computer-controlled laser pulses and
modern ab initio calculations running on GPU computers—will greatly
accelerate our ability to probe and control chemistry. Just like chemical
reagents are used for testing, chemically transforming, and sensing other
compounds, photons could serve the same purpose. The key challenge is
determining how to create ‘photonic reagents’ that have the desired
selectivity and yield rich spectroscopic data. The Dantus Research Group
has been developing computer-controlled laser pulses to probe and control
laser-matter interactions. This talk will illustrate the power of deep
learning as applied to chemical reactions of organic compounds proceeding
through complex mechanisms involving a roaming H2 molecule. Results will
also be presented on how computer-controlled pulses are being developed for
improving medical diagnosis through spectroscopic biomedical imaging.
Cheers,
Siria
