Workshop "Bridging the Divide" (2023)
Welcome
Bridging the worlds of condensed matter physics and biophysics, our workshop gathers experts from both fields and their intersection. With a focus on machine learning and numerical methodologies, we aim to inspire collaborative advances. Our workshop provides a platform for insightful talks and engaging discussions in the fields of condensed matter physics and biophysics. We welcome your participation and ideas.
The workshop takes place at the University of Augsburg from Wednesday, September 13, to Friday, September 15, 2023.
While application for in-person participation is limited to members of the University of Augsburg and their collaborators, it is planned to video broadcast the talks at the workshop.
Support by the MNTF Graduate Center is gratefully acknowledged.
