Biography
Michele Ceriotti received his Ph.D. in Physics from ETH Zürich. He spent three years in Oxford as a Junior Research Fellow at Merton College. Since 2013 he leads the laboratory for Computational Science and Modeling, in the institute of Materials at EPFL, that focuses on method development for atomistic materials modeling based on statistical mechanics and machine learning. He is one of the core developers of several open-source software packages, including http://ipi-code.org and http://chemiscope.org, and proudly serves the atomistic modeling community as an associate editor of the Journal of Chemical Physics, as a moderator of the physics.chem-ph section of the arXiv, and as an editorial board member of Physical Review Materials.Publications

Introduction to atomic-scale modeling
This course provides an introduction to the modeling of matter at the atomic scale, using interactive Jupyter notebooks to see several of the core concepts of materials science in action.
Statistical mechanics
This course presents an introduction to statistical mechanics geared towards materials scientists. The concepts of macroscopic thermodynamics will be related to a microscopic picture and a statistical interpretation. Lectures and exercises will be complemented with hands-on simulation projects.
Statistical methods in atomistic computer simulations
The course gives an overview of atomistic simulation methods, combining theoretical lectures and hands-on sessions. It
covers the basics (molecular dynamics and monte carlo sampling) and also more advanced topics (accelerated sampling
of rare events, and non-linear dimensionality reduction)
Lecture series on scientific machine learning
Machine learning is a data analysis and computational tool that in the last two decades brought groundbreaking progress into many modern technologies. What is more, machine learning is becoming an indispensable tool enabling progress in many scientific disciplines where knowledge is deduced from data.
This course will present some recent works in this direction. In the first part of the
