Classics in molecular and materials modelling

In this lecture series, we take a different look at fundamental developments of simulation and modelling. Milestone conceptual steps, methods and algorithms are presented by their originators. These technical lectures are followed by an interview in which the speakers recall for us the period, problems, people and circumstances that accompanied these developments, providing important and unusual insight in the birth and growth of tools that we now take for granted.

The lecture series “Classics in molecular and materials modelling” is co-organized by CECAM (https://www.cecam.org) and MARVEL (http://nccr-marvel.ch/) at EPFL.
