SUMMARY:Lasers4EU Training: Hands-on Course on MINDLAB: Manipulating and Investigating Neural Dynamics for Learning and Ageing in the Brain
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with the EC (co-)funded projects Lasers4EU\, 360 CARLA and fastMOT \nThe core faculty of the ICFO-MINDLAB\, a think tank working jointly towards a transdisciplinary understanding of the brain\, offers a school to introduce cutting edge technologies to study neuroscience at the molecular\, cellular and systems level to students in a combination of lectures and hands-on experience leading to group projects. \nWhat is MINDLAB?\nMINDLAB stands for “Manipulating and Investigating Neural Dynamics for Learning and Ageing in the Brain” and is an interdisciplinary creative playground rooted squarely in academic rigor\, comprising of research groups from ICFO and beyond. We focus on advancing fundamental knowledge on how the mind emerges from the behavior of individual molecules\, neurons and brain networks but also creating and commercializing transformational future technologies with outstanding potential to impact our society for good. \nHence\, this course will expose participants to the state-of-the-art of photonics-based technologies tailored to monitor a hierarchy of scales in the study of the brain: i.e. from single molecules up to the whole organism. \nThe MINDLAB faculty includes world leading experts in their fields. The expertise of the core faculty is complemented by a diverse set of affiliated adjunct faculty from various research centres in Barcelona but also through clinical and corporate partners. \nThis year’s school will open with the Annual Meeting of the Barcelona Medical Photonics Network (BMPN). BMPN is a platform to promote the research and development activities in photonics being carried out in the Barcelona region through long-standing collaborations between ICFO and its biomedical and clinical partners. Always centered around a targeted clinical area\, this forth edition of the BMPN annual meeting is perfectly aligned with the scope of MINDLAB. By addressing real-world healthcare challenges\, BMPN will set the stage for the training program\, providing essential context and inspiration for participants. The speakers and audience will include clinicians as well as technology developers and innovation managers\, from the Network but also professionals and collaborators from outside the region. \nHands-on sessions\nParticipants will engage in lab sessions focused on the latest photonics technologies. Each lab session will provide participants with an opportunity to work directly with advanced equipment and gain valuable practical skills. \nThe sessions will take place in the following labs: \n\nSuper resolution Light microscopy and Nanoscopy\nNeurophotonics and Mechanical Systems Biology\nMedical Optics\nPhoton Harvesting in Plants and Biomolecules\nSingle Molecules Biophotonics\n\nEligibility\nWe welcome applications from motivated students and early-stage researchers across a range of disciplines: physics\, optics\, engineering\, electronics\, mathematics\, chemistry\, biology\, and related fields. \nPriority will be given to master’s-level and advanced undergraduate students\, though PhD candidates and young postgraduates are also encouraged to apply. \nHow To Apply\nThere is NO fee for students to attend the school. \nApplicants must submit: \n\nA Curriculum Vitae\, including contact details.\nA statement of purpose outlining their motivation for attending the school.\n\nApplications must be submitted online\, and all required application material must be complete in order to be considered. \nThe deadline for applications is September 30\, 2025.Successful applicants will be notified during the week of October 6 August\, 2025. \nFor any questions\, please contact us at frontiers@icfo.eu \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				More information

SUMMARY:Atto fridays seminar Simulating Photo-Excited Processes using Grids and Gaussian Wavepackets
DESCRIPTION:Atto fridays seminar series – Friday 07/11\, 3pm UK time\, online \nThis is to let you know that there is an Atto Fridays seminar this Friday\, 07/11/2025\, at 3pm UK time\, online. Our speaker is Professor Graham Worth (UCL) and he will talk about Simulating Photo-Excited Processes using Grids and Gaussian Wavepackets\n\nRegistration is free at\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_NZHnO6i7Sb2IJYLA6z9V9g\n\nAlternatively you can watch the live-streaming on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@QuantumBattles\n(The live chat is open for subscribers)\n\nBelow you will find an abstract and a brief bio of the speaker.\n----\nTitle: Simulating Photo-Excited Processes using Grids and Gaussian Wavepackets\n\nAbstract:\nSimulating the time-evolution of molecular systems after photo-excitation is\ncomplicated by the need to include a manifold of excited electronic states.\nThese states are coupled by so-called non-adiabatic coupling due to\nthe interaction of the electronic and nuclear motion which\nmakes the system highly quantum mechanical. As a result it is necessary to solve\nthe time-dependent Schroedinger Equation (TDSE) for reliable results.\nTo solve the TDSE\, however\, is a hard computational problem due to the\nexponential scaling of required resources with system size. The\nmulti-configuration time-dependent Hartree (MCTDH) method provides a suitable\nalgorithm that efficiently contracts the wavefunction to make it manageable\nfor many degrees of freedom [1]. Such simulations can provide a full description\nof the evolving system\, and it is possible to include the excitation by light\npulses to obtain a spectroscopic signal that can be directly compared to\nexperiments\, such as REMPI spectra [2]. It is also possible to study the\ncoherences induced in a system by a set of pulses [3]. These simulations\,\nhowever\, are constrained by the need for an analytic Hamiltonian\, which is\nusually unable to describe long-range motions. For this\, methods such as\nthe direct dynamics variational multi-configuration Gaussian (DD-vMCG)\nmethod are required that calculate the potential surfaces on-the-fly and so\nallow a flexible description of the longe-time molecular response[4].\n\n[1] Beck et al Phys. Rep. (00) 324: 1\n[2] Dey et al PCCP (24) 26: 3451\n[3] Dey et al PRL (22) 129: 173203\n[4] Spinlove et al Farad. Discuss. (18) 212: 191\n\nShort Bio:\n\nGraham Worth is a Professor of Computational Chemistry at University College London.\nHe did his PhD at Oxford University developing Free Energy Perturbation simulations\nfor condensed phase thermodynamics. He then did postdoctoral work at the EMBL and\nHeidelberg University\, where he started working on the MCTDH method for the quantum\ndynamics simulations of polyatomic molecules. He is now a lead developer of the\nQuantics suite for quantum dynamics\, which includes a range of algoritjms to solve\nthe time-dependent Schroedinger Equation\, including MCTDH and Gaussian wavepacket\nmethods. His main interests are simulating non-adiabatic dynamics and photo-excited\nprocesses. Present development work focuses on generating potential surfaces on-the-fly\nusing direct dynamics.\n\nAll welcome!\n\nCarla Faria (on behalf of the Atto Fridays team)
