Machine learning for molecular simulations, Computationally intensive modeling, Statistical modeling approaches
The Research Training Group of Dr. Stefan Chmiela focuses on developing machine learning methods for molecular simulations, with a special emphasis on many-body problems in quantum chemistry. Modeling many-body problems is computationally intensive due to the rapidly growing number of non-local interactions with system size. In quantum chemistry even the smallest practical problems already involve enough interacting electrons to render analytical solutions impossible. To address this challenge, the group develops methods that combine fundamental principles from computational physics with statistical modeling approaches. A data-driven angle allows questions to be asked in new ways and can give rise to new perspectives on established problems. In this context, the group will collaborate with members of BIFOLD’s Inference Systems for the Sciences and Humanities Lab (SCI-Lab).
