Analysis and prediction of financial risks, such as market and credit risks, is one of the central problems in modern economy. An adequate understanding of the available risk data requires advanced mathematics and refined high performance numerical algorithms. A pilot study carried out at the Institute for Computational Science at the University of Lugano (USI) [...]
We terminate our series of videos from the CSCS User day with an invited presentation of Rustan Khaliullin. Rustan is from the group led by Michele Parrinello, a professor at the ETH Zurich and the Università della Svizzera italiana, concluded the series of scientific lectures at the CSCS User Day 2011 with a presentation of [...]
In 2011, the Board of Trustees of the Marcel-Benoist-Foundation under the chairmanship of Federal Councillor Didier Burkhalter will award the Marcel-Benoist-Prize to Michele Parrinello. The award is in recognition of the physicist’s computer-aided models in the field of molecular dynamics. This is not the first major prize that Michele Parrinello has received for his research. [...]
During the opening ceremony of the ISC11 exhibition we asked prof. Rolf Krause of the Università della Svizzera italiana for his impression about the hpc-ch booth. Have a look!
ETH Life just published an article on the Car-Parrinello method for performing ab-initio quantum mechanical molecular dynamics (MD). Prof. Parrinello, one of the two scientists that created the methods holds a dual professorship at ETH Zurich and the Università della Svizzera italiana in Lugano from 2011. The method has been developed 25 years ago and [...]
