Dear ESPResSo users,
you are cordially invited to this year's ESPResSo online summer school.
Please find the announcement below.
Regards,
Jean-Noël Grad
Learn to simulate soft matter systems using ESPResSo and Python
Summer School
ESPResSo and Python: Versatile Tools for Soft Matter Research
Date: October 05, 2020 - October 09, 2020
Location: online event
Registration: https://www.cecam.org/workshop-details/28
Due to the uncertainty related to the current Covid-19 situation, we
have decided to virtualize the school, although maintaining the highly
interactive format. Hands-on sessions will be tutored by experienced
ESPResSo users and developers in small groups of participants, remotely
via videoconferencing. There will be additional opportunities for
scientific exchange during the social event, the user & developer
meeting and the interactive talks.
The coding sessions will take place in the afternoon, Central European
Summer Time (UTC+02:00). Some tutoring groups could start earlier or
later to accommodate for participants from different time zones, if
there is sufficient interest. Registration is now open on CECAM
(https://www.cecam.org/workshop-details/28).
Although this course is offered online, it is not designed as a MOOC:
participation will be highly interactive, which limits the number of
participants we can accept in the tutoring sessions. When registering
for this course, please mention whether you are interested in taking
part in the tutoring, or if you're just interested in watching the
lectures and talks. The lectures and talks will be recorded and made
available on our website after the event, accessible to everyone
enrolled in this course.
In this school, participants learn to conduct simulations in the fields
of statistical physics, soft matter and active matter using the software
ESPResSo (espressomd.org). It is an open-source particle-based
simulation package with a focus on coarse-grained molecular dynamics
models. In addition, it offers a wide range of schemes for solving
electrostatics and magnetostatics, hydrodynamics, electrokinetics, as
well as algorithms for active matter, rigid bodies, and chemical
reactions. ESPResSo consists of an MPI-parallelized simulation core
written in C++ and a scripting interface in Python. This allows for good
interoperability with other science and visualization tools for Python.
After an introduction to particle-based simulations and the simulation
software, a wide range of topics will be covered: colloids, gels,
polymers, magnetic fluids, and active matter. Lectures will provide an
introduction to the physics and simulation model building as well as an
overview of the necessary simulation algorithms such as electrostatics
and hydrodynamics solvers. During the afternoon, participants will
practice running simulations in hands-on sessions with the help of
developers of the software. Participants can also get advice on their
specific simulation projects. The final day of the school will be
dedicated to research talks on projects that have been conducted using
ESPResSo.
Program:
- Analysis and management of scientific data
- Basic simulations in ESPResSo and Python
- Understanding and quantifying simulation errors
- Polymer melts
- Polyelectrolyte electrophoresis
- Colloids and gels

Attendance to the summer school is free. A more detailed schedule will
be made available on our website
(http://espressomd.org/wordpress/invitation-to-the-espresso-summer-school-2020/)
at a later point in time.
