CDT NGCM Seminar with Ioannis Begleris From Research in Computational Modelling to Industry

By Stephen Gow On 18 May, Ioannis Begleris presented a seminar to the NGCM CDT via Microsoft Teams on the process of moving from research into industry having achieved a PhD in computational modelling. Ioannis and I were both part of the first NGCM cohort, joining the CDT in 2014 …

CDT-NGCM Seminar with Professor Graeme M Day – Building a computational engine to guide the autonomous discovery of molecular materials

As part of the seminar series, Professor Graeme Day gave a talk on the 23rd February 2022 on the use of computational modelling for directing the exploration of functional crystalline molecular materials. Graeme began by describing crystal structures. Molecules can pack together in many ways, generating crystal structures, known as …

CDT-NGCM Seminar with Georges Limbert – Unravelling the interplay of structural and material properties of skin using mechanistic modelling

This seminar took place on 19 Jan 2022, 1pm. Georges Limbert’s research concerns the numerical modelling of soft tissue, in particular of skin. He is developing mechanistic models to understand the interplay between material and structural properties of the skin, how these change with the external conditions and with age, …

CDT-NGCM Seminar with Georges Limbert

CDT-NGCM were pleased to host a seminar, Unravelling the interplay of structural and material properties of skin using mechanistic modelling, with Georges Limbert. This seminar took place online on Wednesday 19th January 2022. University of Southampton (UK) and University of Cape Town (South Africa) g.limbert@soton.ac.uk, http://www.insilicomechanobiology.com/ “Considering the place of the …

CDT-NGCM Seminar with Dr Daniele Pinna – Unconventional Computing with Complex Magnetic Textures

This seminar took place on 8 Dec 2021, 1pm. Daniele started the seminar by explaining the motivation for his research. It is widely acknowledged that Moore’s law, the exponential scaling of classical CMOS computer technology, will cease within the next two fabrication generations due to the inability of improving the …

Unconventional Computing with Complex Magnetic textures with Daniele Pinna

It is widely acknowledged that classical scaling of complementary metal-oxide semi-conductor (CMOS) logic, making devices simultaneously smaller, faster and operating at lower voltage, will cease within the next two fabrication generations due to the inability of improving the cost-effective scaling of transistors below the 3 nm channel length threshold. Simultaneously, …

CDT-NGCM Seminar with Dr Edward Richardson The Innocent Engineer: Putting computational modelling in the dock

This seminar took place on Wednesday 17 November 2021. This talk will share some reflections on my experience as an expert witness, in particular about use of computational modelling in legal argument. A civil case or arbitration is decided ‘on the balance of probability’. But what does it take to …

CDT-NGCM Seminar with Dr Jonathan Leliaert – What makes scientific software successful? A case study in micromagnetic software.

This seminar took place on 13 October 2021 at 1pm. Dr Leliaert is a research physicist in the DyNaMat research group at Ghent University in Belgium specialising on the development of multi-physics computational packages. He is also an experienced software developer. In particular, he develops Vinamax and MuMax physics simulation …

CDT-NGCM Seminar with Dr. Jonathan Leliaert: What makes scientific software successful? A case study in micromagnetic software.

Computational modelling requires the use of advanced software tools, which are not always readily available for state-of-the art physics problems. By developing such software yourself, you do not only advance your own research, but also provide a tool that can be used throughout the community. In this talk, I will …
