About The Talk<br>
<br>
D. E. Shaw Research is an independent research laboratory that
conducts<br>
basic scientific research in the field of computational
biochemistry<br>
under the direct scientific leadership of Dr. David E. Shaw. Our
group<br>
is currently focusing on molecular simulations involving proteins
and<br>
other biological macromolecules of potential interest from both a<br>
scientific and a pharmaceutical perspective.<br>
Recently, our lab constructed the first of 16 "segments" of
a massively<br>
parallel supercomputer called Anton, designed specifically for the<br>
execution of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Anton has
already<br>
generated the world's longest MD trajectory, and is now being used
by<br>
our scientists to execute preliminary protein simulations.<br>
<br>
Join us for an overview of our work on parallel algorithms and
machine<br>
architectures for high-speed MD simulations and a description of
the<br>
simulations that have helped elucidate the dynamics and functional<br>
mechanisms of biologically important proteins. Enjoy Bertucci's
pizza<br>
and warm rolls while learning about our current research projects
and<br>
the full-time and internship opportunities within the group. All
science<br>
and technical majors are welcome. <br>
