Molecular Simulations Workshop

We are pleased to announce the 5th Molecular Simulation Workshop, which will take place on September 13, 2024 at the Agile Strategy Lab at NJIT.

The workshop will bring together a diverse group of researchers who are actively engaged in molecular and atomistic modeling. We started to organize this workshop in 2018 for NJIT students, later extending it to Rutgers, and in 2023 even further -- welcoming researchers from other universities in the region. We are delighted to see new faces and engage in meaningful discussions that will contribute to the advancement of this field.

The workshop has lined up several keynote presentations by invited speakers who are experts in the field. In addition to the keynote presentations, we will have an electronic poster session that is open to all participants. Posters will be displayed on LCD Displays (do not need to print anything, we are environmentally friendly). Before the poster section, we provide a short time for presenters to give a pitch to introduce their research and invite other attendees to view their poster.

We encourage all interested researchers and students to register for the workshop and join us for a day of learning, sharing, and networking. We look forward to seeing you there!

Our invited speakers this year are:
Prof. Mark E. Tuckerman, New York University
Prof. Brandon C. Bukowski, Johns Hopkins University
Prof. Rodrigo Freitas, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
