graph-pes is John‘s open-source, all-round software package for fitting & fine-tuning graph-based ML interatomic potentials – do try it out, follow him for updates, and share! #chemsky #compchem 🧪
I've been working hard behind the scenes, and am excited to announce that graph-pes version 0.1.0 is now out!
🚨 Introducing graph-pes: a unified framework for building, training and using graph-based machine-learned models of potential energy surfaces! 🚨

We are finally online. We pushed neutron total scattering to look at interfaces in an unprecedented level of detail. Thank you to dream team that made this possible. I could not be more proud to be part of it.

Next up at #F24MRS is the wonderful Anna Regoutz (aka @bluebananna.bsky.social) who is
(i) always great to hear from if you have any interest in using xrays to understand any interface you might care about
(ii) definitely not a traitor for leaving UCL so she could return to Oxford
