On november 3rd we had a presentation from Dr. John Kieffer entitled, From Molecules to Materials. 

His opening statements took us through a brief history on computers. He explained to us that the laptops of today are typically using the same computing power as a super computer from 15 years prior would have used. That was pretty interesting, I didn't know that.

On Thursday Nov. 3, 2011 John Keiffer, professor at the University of Michigan, gave us a presentation on the advantages and growing need of computational chemistry. As a science, Chemistry is a field where we know what we put in and what we got out and we can make a pretty good guess as to what happened between the two stages. However as technology advances, the materials to build better technology must advance too, and this is what Kieffer and his group are striving to improve.

November 3, 2011

Today's seminar presentation was kind of a step back from chemistry because it was more concerned with computer software and mathematical models than experiments. The guest speaker was Dr. John Kieffer from the Materials Science & Engineering Department of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor . . .

           On Thursday, November 3, John Kieffer presented a talk called “From Molecules to Materials: Simulation-Based Predictive Design”.

           Kieffer works in the area of computational chemistry. Computational Chemistry allows you to predict results and accelerate the material design cycle, saving money and time. This is accomplished using algorithms, and it is used for many applications, such as building airplanes and analyzing how drugs fit onto receptors.
