Abstract:
 
Glasses are amorphous solids produced by cooling a liquid fast enough to avoid crystallization. Mankind has manufactured them since thousands of years and yet we still lack a fundamental understanding of how and why they form. In this seminar, I will give a brief overview of some of the long-standing open problems about the glass transition. I will show how enhanced sampling methods are helping to disentangle competing theoretical descriptions of glassy liquids and then discuss recent applications of machine learning techniques in this context.
