Great turnout at our stand at the Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften!
Together with Bell Flavors & Fragrances GmbH we explored how AI can enhance scent perception.
Big thanks to @peter-fichtelmann.bsky.social for organizing & Bell Flavors and Fragrances GmbH for the fun ducks 🐥!

I am pleased to announce a preprint of another one of my papers on arxiv with Johannes Dietschreit and Julia Westermayr on: Incorporating Long-Range Interactions via the Multipole Expansion into Ground and Excited-State Molecular Simulation: arxiv.org/abs/2502.21045
Incorporating Long-Range Interactions via the Multipole Expansion into Ground and Excited-State Molecular Simulations
Simulating long-range interactions remains a significant challenge for molecular machine learning potentials due to the need to accurately capture interactions over large spatial regions. In this work...
