40 hours
Abroad
English
Target audience: Young researchers at early career stages specifically
Topics
- Materials representations and ML-based materials property prediction
- Atomistic simulations enabled by machine-learned potentials
- Graph neural networks and inverse molecular design
- Self-driving labs in chemistry
- LLMs and synthesis prediction
The program will contain both lecture-type presentations as well as interactive formats such as a lab visit, hands-on tutorials, and a poster session in which the participants can present their own research. Along with the scientific program, we will organize a side program consisting of a visit to ZKM (Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe) including a guided tour, a social dinner as well as a public evening including a panel discussion on the topic "Large Language Models in Science - Hype or Future?".
