Spring 2025 Schedule
All meetings will be held 11-11:59 AM in Olin 105
- Friday, Jan 17, 2025 -- Natalie and Cory will lead a discussion on two papers by Grasselli and
Baroni – https://doi.org/10.1038/s41567-019-0562-0 and https://doi.org/10.1140/epjb/s10051-021-00152-5 which
describe the popular concepts of “topological” and “gauge invariance” as they may be used in simulations
of ionic conductivity.

- Friday, Feb 28, 2025 -– Cory Lynch will lead a discussion about his recent experiences with
trying to obtain reproducible correlation functions from the analysis of large molecular dynamics simulations,
which turns out to be a non-trivial challenge.
