Molecular Modeling Training Series: Visualization Tools for Materials Science and Biophysics
As part of the Molecular Modeling Training Series, an online course on visualization tools used in molecular modeling, material science, and biophysics will be organized by the Leibniz Supercomputing Center (LRZ) of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities on 17 November 2026.
Through short lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on exercises, participants will be introduced to visualization tools commonly used in materials science and biophysics, OVITO, VESTA, VMD, and PyMOL, on the virtual HPC cluster RedLion. They will learn how to access and use selected visualization tools in an HPC-oriented environment, inspect molecular and atomistic structures, visualize simulation data, and apply common visualization workflows in materials science and biophysics.
Molecular Modeling Training Series is aimed at the needs and expectations of users working in molecular modeling, computational chemistry, computational biology, materials science, biophysics, and related fields. While focusing on these particular users and their use cases, this session, as well as all other courses offered as part of the Molecular Modeling Training Series, is open to all interested parties.
