Dear colleagues, On Wednesday January 29th Professor O. Anatole von Lilienfeld (University of Basel) will be visiting us. Dr. Lilienfeld's research focuses on combining statistical mechanics, electronic structure theory, and machine learning algorithms for the rational design of materials from first principles (http://www.alcf.anl.gov/~anatole/). On Thursday he will be giving the pchem seminar at 4:15pm entitled "'Quantum Machine': Supervised learning of Schrödinger's equation in chemical compound space". This talk will be particularly relevant for anyone involved with any of the materials screening projects in our group. If you are interested in meeting with Anatole on Wednesday, please sign up for one of the slots below, or join us for lunch 12-1:30pm (I need 3 volunteers). 10:00am-10:30am 10:30am-11:00am 11:00am-11:30am 11:30am-12:00pm 12:00pm-1:30pm Lunch 1:30pm-2:00pm 2:00pm-2:30pm 2:30pm-3:00pm 3:00pm-3:30pm 3:30pm-4:00pm There will also be an in-house lunch discussion on Thursday 12-1:30pm.
