*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Date: Thursday, January 28, 2016
Time: 11am-12pm
Place: Klaus 1116 East
Speaker: Alex Lohse, 2nd year FLAMEL Trainee
Abstract:
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are a useful way to study the underlying molecular mechanisms that occur when material systems are subjected to some stimuli. Material informatics techniques are well poised to uncover molecular level structure information. In this talk I will briefly discuss molecular dynamics simulations, specifically of polymer and polymer matrix composite systems. A review and some examples will be presented to show different ways informatics techniques have/can be applied to MD.
Bio:
Alex Lohse is in his second year of the Ph.D. program in the School of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) at Georgia Tech, after graduating with a B.S. in MSE from Purdue University. During his time at Purdue, he worked for GE-Aviation on a variety of military and commercial jet engine material systems; for Northrop Grumman on microelectronics technology for satellites; and performing research in sustainable metal processing. He also played the “Big Bass Drum” in Purdue’s All-American Marching Band and studied abroad in France and China. In his spare time he loves to travel, play soccer, is an avid runner, and will do just about anything outdoors including hiking, kayaking, and cycling.
*Next Chalk-Talk is scheduled for Thursday, February 11, with discussions led by first year FLAMEL trainee Andriy Dotsenko. For a list of this semester’s upcoming talks, please visit http://flamel.gatech.edu/newsroom
