Hello #fediverse #introduction

I'm Michael, professor in the institutes of #mathematics and #materials science and head of the @MatMat group at #EPFL.

I work on the #atomistic simulations of materials, mainly density-functional theory (DFT) methods, understanding #simulation errors and #uncertainties in predicted materials properties.

I use techniques from
#physics #computerscience #machinelearning and
develop related #julialang packages such as the density-functional toolkit (#dftk).

Looking for an interdisciplinary PhD in the field of model-driven and data-driven #ComputationalScience, bridging #mathematics and an applied discipline? Then KIT Graduate School Computational and Data Science (KCDS) might be the right place for you! Learn more and apply until March 31, 2025: https://www.kcds.kit.edu/72.php

Christmas quiz

That time of year again and the annual GCQQ puzzle set has been released. It’s great fun - and trickier than one might think

This week for #FactFriday I want to point out some of the more subtle ways that #misinformation and #disinformation is spread on #blogs and #SocialMedia by people I am dubbing the #Disinformati (the #Illuminati of disinformation 😉 ) as a cautionary tale of what to be aware of when on these sites. I have encountered all of this in the realm of #Mathematics #Maths #Math but the take-aways apply equally to all subjects....

Happy birthday to Russian #mathematician & writer Sofia Vasilyevna Kovalevski (1850-1891). Her contributions to analysis, differential equations & mechanics include Cauchy-Kovalevski theorem & the famed Kovalevski top. She was 1st woman appointed to full prof in N Europe or to serve as editor of a major sci journal. She is also remembered for her contributions to Russian literature. 🧵1/n
