Workshops

The long program opens with four days of tutorials that will provide an introduction to major themes of the entire program and the four workshops. The goal is to build a foundation for the participants of this program who have diverse scientific backgrounds. Topics that will be discussed during the tutorials include

• Electronic structure methods and quantum chemistry

• Algorithms to search configuration space
• Statistical physics based methods
• Rational drug design
• Quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSPR)
• Combinatorial optimization
• Machine learning
• Graph theory
• High performance computing
