About the project: Multiscale Molecular Dynamics: a mathematical exploration of coarse-graining Supervisor: Dr Thomas Hudson, University of Warwick When applied to molecular dynamics simulations of large numbers of atoms, coarse-graining approaches seek to reduce of the number of degrees of freedom in a material model, thereby reducing computational costs and the environmental impact while maintaining accuracy. Although such approaches are widely used, there is still much theoretical development needed to assess the accuracy and efficiency of these approaches. This project therefore seeks to study the mathematical theory behind coarse-graining approaches, providing new understanding of the size and sources of errors committed when they are used. The project will involve both development of mathematical theory in concert with careful numerical experiments.
