>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.
