Convening meetings, workshops, seminars, and public programs is a key part of the mission at the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center promoting collaboration between campus-based faculty, ASRC faculty, theorists, and experimentalists across New York City.
The ASRC offers event and meeting spaces that can accommodate up to 100 guests for your next conference, reception, meeting, workshop, film shoot, or private event.
Dr. Danial Motlagh, Xanadu Title: A Renaissance in Materials Discovery Abstract - Quantum computers have the potential to transform materials discovery for next-generation technologies from a slow and expensive trial and error process into a fast, cost-effective, simulation-driven endeavour. In this talk, I’ll share our vision for a quantum-accelerated materials discovery pipeline and the regimes
Negative noodles, and positive ones too: Biophysics and bioengineering of intrinsically disordered proteins Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) do not fold into a fixed three-dimensional structure, yet they play important roles in biology. For instance, many IDPs phase separate into biomolecular condensates that function as membrane-less organelles in cells. If IDPs are somewhat like a cooked
