My fifty years of molecular dynamics: a personal trajectory || Lecture by Prof. Michael L Klein

Embark on a journey through the evolution of molecular dynamics simulation as seen through the eyes of Prof. Michael L. Klein. In this enlightening lecture delivered at the MD@60 conference (sites.google.c... ), Prof. Klein offers deeply personal insights into the rich history of this pivotal field.
MD@60 conference was held to commemorate Aneesur Rahman for his pioneering contributions to MD simulation 60 years ago. The conference brought together leading experts, along with the new generation of practitioners in the field, to showcase and explore not only the history of the field but also the latest methodological developments. The meeting was jointly organized at JNCASR, Bengaluru by the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR) and the Centre Européen de Calcul Atomique et Moléculaire (CECAM).
