Physics, Accuracy and Machine Learning: Towards the next-generation of Molecular Potentials
PARTNERS
MolSSI : The Molecular Sciences Software Institute
The Molecular Sciences Software Institute serves as a nexus for science, education, and cooperation serving the worldwide community of computational molecular scientists – a broad field including of biomolecular simulation, quantum chemistry, and materials science. The Institute will help the computational molecular science community to work together to leverage its diverse capabilities that will reduce or eliminate the gulf that currently delays by years the practical realization of theoretical innovations.
The MolSSI specializes in software training in the computational molecular sciences, and we have extensive experience in a number of topics that will be covered in this ITN in regards software schools, workshops, and mentorship of graduate student and postdoctoral trainees. The MolSSI also has experience in running a Software Fellows program whereby graduate students and postdocs are mentored in their software endeavors by our Molecular Software Scientists.

Auburn University
Auburn University is flagship public university in Alabama, US, leading university in the south, recently elevated to R1 category the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education. The Chemistry Department has 24 full-time faculty members with expertise in biological chemistry, synthesis methodology, molecular recognition and detection, new material synthesis and characterization, renewable energy, and very strong involvement in computational chemistry.
Prof. Patkowski is Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry. He is one of the best experts in accurate calculations of interaction energies of weakly bound systems, author of over 40 papers (H-index 25). His expertise includes benchmarking the systems with non-covalent interactions and accurate ab-initio calculations of interaction potentials for the systems important for studies of fundamental physics, spectroscopy and metrology. He is recip- ient of ACS OpenEye Outstanding Junior Faculty Award in Computational Chemistry (2015).

HITRAN: high-resolution transmission molecular absorption database
HITRAN is an acronym for high-resolution transmission molecular absorption database. HITRAN is a compilation of molecular spectroscopic parameters that a variety of computer codes use to predict and simulate the transmission and emission of light in the terrestrial and planetary atmospheres. HITRAN group also maintains and develops the HITEMP database.
Key Expertise:
Collection and validation of spectroscopic data to be maintained in the HiTRAN database. The HITRAN group develops effective tools for dissemination of the spectroscopic data and keeps close contact with the user community. The HITRAN group has vast expertise in molecular spectroscopy, data science and applications.

Supercomputing Center of Galicia (CESGA)
CESGA was founded in 1993 to promote and provide supercomputing to the academic and non-academic communities. It employs more than 35 people and has more than 325 TeraFlops of computing capacity with a 4 PetaFLOPS update in progress.
Dr. Gómez is the manager of the Projects and Applications department at CESGA and Dr. Rodríguez senior scientific application technician. They have experience in the design of distributed and HPC systems, the management, support, parallelisation, migration of applications, the application of Machine Learning techniques to industrial processes, and scientific and technical software development. A. Gómez is involved in several Quantum Computing initiatives, being nowadays a main research line at CESGA. The main scientific computing infrastructure managed by CESGA is FinisTerrae, conceived for the efficient resolution of large parallel problems. In 2021, a new supercomputer is being deployed (4PFlops) including the first Quantum Computing Simulator installed in Spain.
