Abstract:

Many problems in applied sciences can be abstractly formulated as systems navigating over complex energy landscapes. Well-known examples include conformational changes of bio-molecules, chemical reactions, nucleation events during phase transitions, and extreme events in some cases that lead to material or system failure, etc. These events  happen infrequently relative to the relaxation timescale of the system, but when they do happen, they usually happen rather quickly and have important consequences. In this talk, I will discuss numerical methods for the study of such rare events, including the string method and the recently developed machine learning techniques.
