Title:

Molecular Dynamics: Theory and Applications

Abstract:

Classical and first-principles molecular dynamics simulations will be outlined for a general audience. Limitations and advances will be emphasized, as well as some of the more fundamental mathematical approaches used by these codes. Computational issues (scaling, internode communication) will be briefly addressed. However, the talk will be targeted to provide researchers in other areas with the general principles used by dynamicists in an effort to increase cross-discipline collaborations.
