Nadya Mason, dean of the Pritzker School of Engineering at U. Chicago gave a terrific interview with Physics World Weekly on research at the PME. The podcast also has an interview with Jeffrey Spangenberger at ANL on battery recycling. Great listening:

Our paper combining d-AFED/TAMD with REST2 is now out. Thus, we have an approach to handle both energetic and entropic barriers in complex systems.

Congratulations to Giulia Galli on winning the 2025 Berni Alder Prize!

Our paper on the use of enhanced sampling to compare different RNA force fields, including HB-CUFIX, is now available. Kudos to Akshaya on the great work.

For any who are interested in working on machine-learning driven simulations of battery electrolyes using path-integral techniques, I am opening a new postdoctoral position in my group. The Interfolio application site is here:

Glad to see that this symposium honoring John Perdew is happening at Temple University.

Our paper in Applied Physics Reviews on ML versus MM force fields is now out. Kudos to Yuanqing for spearheading the effort to produce this.

For anyone interested in an AI hackathon:

Preparing to attend the RARE meeting in Khajuraho, India next week:

I just began reading David Limmer's new book on Statistical Mechanics and Stochastic Thermodynamics. Truly excellent book with very clear explanations of the concepts. I highly recommend it!

Dear X-followers: Please join me on bluesky under the handle @GroupTuckerman (@grouptuckerman.blsky.social).

Our paper reporting a combined theoretical/experimental study of a new class of deep eutectic solvents is out in JPCB. We still need to name these liquids following the pattern introduced by Abbott. Any suggestions?

The Simons Center for Computational Physical Chemistry (SCCPC) at NYU is announcing another round of independent postdoctoral fellowship applications due March 1, 2025. For more information see:

RT @nyuchemistry: Join us for the 2024 Ned Seeman Memorial Mini-Symposium on December 9, 2024 .

After years of effort, our paper on rapid prediction of molecular crystal structures using topological and simple physical descriptors is available at Nature Comm. Praise goes to N. Galanakis, a truly excellent postdoc:.

Our paper in JCTC on constant-pH simulations via enhanced sampling with Abbvie collaborators is now available open access. Any and all feedback welcome.

Thanks, Christoph. Excellent meeting at the RESOLV Cluster, and great to be back in Bochum.

And with the stroke of midnight, I'm no longer Department Chair. It's been an adventure, but I'm happy to return to the work of a regular faculty member!.

Thank you, all!.

I'm very honored to have received an Einstein Fellowship from the Einstein Stiftung Berlin, which will begin early next year. Looking forward to spending time in one of my favorite European cities (#Berlin).
