Sonifying stochastic walks on biomolecular energy landscapes
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Translating the complex, multi-dimensional data produced by simulations of biomolecules into an intelligible form is a major challenge in computational chemistry and biology. The so-called “free energy landscape” is amongst the most fundamental conce... Read More about Sonifying stochastic walks on biomolecular energy landscapes.

Molecular music: Repurposing a mixed quantum-classical atomic dynamics model as an audiovisual instrument
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Molecular Music is an offshoot of a long-term collaborative project, the multi- award winning danceroom Spectroscopy (dS)[1]. dS has its roots in computational molecular dynamics, and was originally conceived to serve as an interactive platform for m...
