About The Talk

D. E. Shaw Research is an independent research laboratory that conducts
basic scientific research in the field of computational biochemistry
under the direct scientific leadership of Dr. David E. Shaw. Our group
is currently focusing on molecular simulations involving proteins and
other biological macromolecules of potential interest from both a
scientific and a pharmaceutical perspective.
Recently, our lab constructed the first of 16 "segments" of a massively
parallel supercomputer called Anton, designed specifically for the
execution of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Anton has already
generated the world's longest MD trajectory, and is now being used by
our scientists to execute preliminary protein simulations.

Join us for an overview of our work on parallel algorithms and machine
architectures for high-speed MD simulations and a description of the
simulations that have helped elucidate the dynamics and functional
mechanisms of biologically important proteins. Enjoy Bertucci's pizza
and warm rolls while learning about our current research projects and
the full-time and internship opportunities within the group. All science
and technical majors are welcome.
